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.
