I'm currently trying to figure out if I can de-hack it (for one thing,
it currently checks only for drive C: - it would need to check for any
letter), but Windows builds are horrendously slow compared to Linux
builds... and that's running on the same CPU, and either way it's
given a maximum of one core. (Probably it's mainly to do with the
slowness of Windows process creation.) At the moment, I'm looking at
getting 8.0 to build for Windows; it's largely working, although Hilfe
terminates immediately on startup for some reason. Still looking into
that too.

Mapping error codes seems like a good thing to do. Does anyone know
why it was imported via dll instead of just being linked in the normal
way?
