	Currently ABI backwards-compatibility for compiled extensions. There is
some resistance to breaking that - also so far MSVC produces faster,
smaller binaries (IIRC). Of course we can cross-compile to windows from
Linux too using the mingw goodness - we even have a live tinderbox doing
that. That's a great way to go about it.

	Nope - we use those widgets sets only for theming - we use our own VCL
widgets on all platforms really; and of course native dialogs - like the
windows file dialog on windows wherever possible.

	HTH,

		Michael.
