Sage is an extremely complicated program involving over 5 million
lines of code and multiple running processes and programs that have to
be run in a very specific environment.   In addition, it is currently
not possible to build about half of Sage at all under Microsoft
Windows, and estimates range from 2 to 100 years of hard work (which
isn't going on, anyways) to change that.
