No more than what's on my site at halostatue.ca; I posted a long
series of notes that I put together when talking to Microsoft directly
about this problem. I stopped my participation in that primarily when
I switched to the Mac at home instead of continuing to frustrate
myself with Windows (I get paid to be frustrated with Windows at work;
I'd rather use something that frustrates me differently at home).

Well, my hope was to *not* have to rebuild things like pdcurses傭ut
remember that I was trying to build against VS2005, not mingw (I'm
*still* not convinced that mingw is a good idea because it depends on
such an old C runtime), so the incompatibility issue mattered much
much much more.
