I think the biggest problem is that we (at least myself) don't know what type of API would work for Win32. If someone with knowledge of how this might work on Win32 could describe an API, I think we can come up with an implementation in Unix. Whenever someone cares enough to implement the bits in Win32, they can add it. And, +1 to the "not implementing it is kind of stupid" as we've had this debate way too many times for my liking. -- justin
