I am sorry if I was unclear but I was speaking in _favor_ of having Windows
compatibility.  I meant I have no problem maintaining windows compatibility
but was mentioning the fact that I don't have a way to test this (and I am
sure Sean knows that many other developers here are in the same situation).
Therefore, I was hoping that I would be forgiven if I accidentally broke the
build.  I too am a bit frustrated by this patch.  Mainly because Sasha just
accepted the exact opposite patch about a month ago!

I have no problem with it but I don't have a Windows machine to test on.  So
this will make the effort harder on your part Sean, sorry.
