I would submit it if Wei thought it to be useful for Unix/Linux users. You are right in saying that it has been accessible to unix users already. I cannot say I agree completely with only getting it warning free on Windows only. If we do release on non-Windows platforms then we must at least select a set of compilers which we will support. In practice I feel , (my opinion ofcourse), that all the compilers supported should be warning free. Ofcourse changes for one compiler may not work for others. This is the reasoning behind my suggest for autoconf. With autoconf we can detect the system can the compiler in use. Armed with that fact we can be sure that any gcc specific code would not interfere with any MS code through the use of #ifdef statements.
