There's a lot of scope to do better than the current support, certainly.

However, the "not ported to Windows" is slightly misleading - the code
(like a lot of contrib code) compiles fine under Windows. Because of the
dependency on libxml2, it might not often be distributed as a binary, but
people are definitely using on Win32 (I'm not really a Win32 user but I
have tried it and it did work).
