Source Safe? Yikes. I haven't used that in a long time.

I hear you on that. I have tons of code that has #ifdef GCC and #ifdef WIN32 in
lots of places.
Obviously you wrap what you can in macros and/or functions, but you can't do
that 100% the time. Some people REALLY hate #ifdef/#endif and view them as a
bad coding practice. Others, like myself, view them as a proper usage of the
language constructs and judicious use of them actually help the developer
understand the code better.

I have no desire for a Windows version for myself, but I see the need for it.
