I think part of the problem is that we no longer have many Windows-savvy
committers willing to spend time on Windows-specific patches; there are,
of course, people with enough knowledge, but they don't always
necessarily have much interest. Note that I added Magnus and Andrew to
this thread because they are known to have contributed Windows-specific
improvements, but they have yet to followup on this thread *at all*.

I remember back when Windows support was added, one of the arguments in
its favor was "it's going to attract lots of new developers". Yeah, right.
