Although I don't use Windows, I would like to see a version of
libgda/libgnomedb/mergeant running on Windows. So I think we could add
compilation flags to remove parts that are difficult to port to Windows.
What I don't want is to introduce limitations on the Unix version
because there are some problems with Windows.

Are you working on a Windows port?
