I never said I liked it or ever used it but it is the standard, it is
everywhere and if you really want a native Win app you don't much choice.
By native I mean one that looks like it belongs on the platform rather
than one that looks like it was ported. Of course, LyX would never _act_
like it belongs on Windows unless we throw in a few spurious:
#ifdef WINDOWS
if (random() > 0.5) {
abort();
}
#endif
