Hi Jan,

> I hope you will accept my contribution and dont take it hostile.

Let me give my opinion (as a contributor to dt) on this which may or
may not reflect the core developer opinion.

Personally I'm not hostile to a dt port to Windows and I feel that this
is the same for most if not all dt developers. But many ports have
already been done and today we have no official port!

What we need for this to be a success?

That you stay around for a *long* time.

That you build dt from time to time on Windows.

That you start talking very soon to developers to have a plan in the
*long* run to maintain this port and propose patches.

I see this first port (as the other ports before) as a good indication
that you have the skill to maintain dt on Windows, but the dt dev team
need far more implication on the long run. You must be prepared to work
on Windows specific bugs for example. You'll need to be there and on
the Redmine to classify and test the Windows specific issues...

I hope you'll attract more Windows devs as this may be a quite big
amount of work.

As I said that's my personal opinion.

Regards,
