Where is this coming from? Your idea of useful and my idea of useful
are not the same, nor should they be.
If I choose to spend time making Gtk work on Win32, this won't be time
taken away from Gtk development - Gtk development isn't what I do.
You don't get to choose what projects I work on, and to some extent
neither do I - I have to deal with the fact that there is substantial
demand for software on Win32 platforms, and I don't want to beat
myself bloody trying to pretend that's not so - I'd rather just make
it painless for people to migrate away from Win32.
So getting the Gtk API to work on Windoze won't take time away from
any Gtk hacking I might otherwise do. Instead, it'll be time taken
away from creating some other abstraction so that I can write a
program that works equally well on Win32 and Unix.
That's your choice. Which would you prefer, given that choice?
