Hi Alex, Sure. I am hoping the management see the benefits and we could start working on this. Besides that, I should give them an estimate on how long would it take implement such thing.
I am clueless about how much effort would it take to add a Win32 MACHINE type. By looking at conf/machine/x86 it seems somewhat easy to have a, but there could be serious work to be done on the compiler setup, etc. Again, while porting some libraries like Qt/OpenSSL/etc would be straightforward, I wonder how many *base* libraries and tools are there that must be ported but aren't easy to port. I am looking for community's opinion to know the difficulties and suggestions on the way of such big task.
