My own opinion is that I've already wasted untold man-hours thanks to
the random porting problems induced by Windows, a platform that I never
have and never will care about personally.  I will *not* spend my own
time doing tests that someone else could do.  If we can't get some
effort contributed by someone who does use that platform, I'm personally
prepared to declare the entire damn thing no longer supported.
