Well now, for someone proficient with a programming language,
recompiling sources for just another flavor of Windows should be
a task of what ... a few minutes ? I am not proficient with C(++?)
but I do posess knowledge in Delphi. So it happens to know a
little about the big picture.
I don't think it's a matter of time or cost, it's just a matter of wanting
to do it.
