I just thought of something about this related to the win32 port. Not having experience with programming for win32, I wonder if windows supports output redirection? AFAIK it doesn't, so writing to an outfile could make the port somewhat simpler. I haven't finished reading the stuff in win32/ so I'm not sure how it is being handled now. Comments?
