It is the native MS Windows object/executable format (like ELF on
Linux or BSD).  Unfortunately, it's quite a bit more primitive than
ELF, so some features are missing.  Some things are quite hideous, for
example RTTI using dynamic_cast uses fast pointer comparisons on
Linux, but slow string comparisons on Windows due to a lack of weak
symbols.  This can have a serious impact on your application's speed!
