You could have sped that up by starting to apply those patches... Though you
always said you wanted them, you didn't even do the trivial stuff. Not what
was in the first patch (having a common include - you WILL need that), nor
other trivial stuff like replacing a #define that clashes with one on the
Windows system. Or did you already do that in the mean time?

> I will have less time to develop new features in the short term

Seems more like you hope to get those features that are already
implemented...

And you seem to miss that there is stuff that's not _that_ trivial to adapt
to Windows if you want to take care of some subtile problems. And I can tell
you from my experience with Windows Gtk-Gnutella users that there was a
reason why I made the interface changes to Gtk-Gnutella that I made. The GUI
is absolutely horrible to a Windows user. And there are several quite handy
features missing.

I always thought Gnucleus was buggy till I was looking closer at Gtk-Gnutella...
... whose code tends to do stupid stuff like building up a temporary single
linked list by always _APPENDING_ new items (O (n�) anyone?).

Before Gtk-Gnutella will be a serious competitor on Windows, it has to go a
long way. Not that it is impossible.

Just my 2�...
