Anyone who'd like to compile it on another platform. A big advantage of open 
source is that people *can* twiddle with the code, and not have to rely on 
pre-compiled binaries. How many people is that? I dunno, but I doubt I'm the 
only one.

I regularly compile the same source code for either Linux or Windows (using 
mingw32). I believe a backend for OS/2 exists, but I've never used it. 
However, OS/2 users have compiled my source code without any problems.

So, in a word, yes.

That would be great.

It's not a big issue for me though, since I don't have a Wisp programmer. I 
just wanted to borrow some ideas for a related project I'm working on.

Thanks,
