yeah, its going to be a major overhaul (and I know this without looking at the sourcecode; but instead in the thinking of the fact that the microsoft libraries will cover basics such as mouse movement and drawing to the window, as well as more detailed stuff such as playing wav files and memory allocation). Re-inventing the wheel is not going to be easy nor will it happen in any timely fashion. If anything like this were to be done, it would almost be easier to start anew.

That being said, if there was anyone out there who would be willing to do this, then we certainly wouldn't want to hold them back becuz of naysaying. Just don't expect the poor, besieged programmers who have given blood, sweat, and tears over to making DC what it is today to want to take on this at this time.

I think we should make the change (from microsoft developer c++) so as to offer DC to non-windows users; but I just don't see it happening soon (if ever).
