If it's just the runtime, then Gnulib should be able to paper over a pretty fair number of the differences, and groff already uses that. It may just be a matter of somebody who can do test-builds on Windows making sure that we're importing the right set of Gnulib modules. (It's possible that some of the _WIN32 conditionals can be supplied by Gnulib these days, but there's also no great urgency to remove them, IMO.) -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@debian.org]
