Sorry I didn't answer earlier, this week has been very busy here and it
slipped near the bottom of my TODO pile.

It's fine by me to have the GTK+ client adapted for other systems. I don't
even own most of the code in that package, and it's all GPL(*) anyway, so
I can't stop you :)

(*) Actually some of it was public domain, but that's GPL-compatible.

OTOH I dislike Win32 enough that I won't be inclined to include changes
with my own releases, or try to support problems on Win32.

Judging from progress on Gimp/Win32, I would guess that the only problems
are getting a working build environment, and talking to the CD drive in
Windows.
