It's much easier if you go through a recruiter, but recognize that most
recruiters won't work with you on it. Some will not really understand how
important it is. Don't take it for granted. Ask. If you feel strongly
about using non-MS, say so. Say that you'd be happy to work with them if
they're willing to work with you.

Anyone interested in specifics can contact me offlist. I've just gone
through this recently. Twice.
