Given you're not using the flag to indicate "works on win32" as such, but instead "compile using Win32 Widgets instead of something else", wouldn't a better name indicate that somehow? The simplest thing I can think of that clears this confusion is a few extra characters: "win32gui", "win32ui" Or something along those lines. It doesn't require us to know what the exact binding keywords in microsoft terminology is used, and it clearly communicates "This is something to do with User Interfaces" as opposed to "Just linking/compiling slightly differently". -- Kent KENTNL - https://metacpan.org/author/KENTNL
