In fact, we (used to) patch a file or two. Moreover,
TSVN uses its own build scripts and builds against
a different MS VC version than most others.

Both points make it harder for developers to confirm
a bug. Even more so as there have been cases of strange /
unfavorable behavior that were specific to the
Windows platform.
