The basis of my outburst is that I put a hell of a lot of time into
making fcptools work on linux and windows, and to keep the ezFCPtools
API identical, and the tool command line options.

This was done with client writers in mind, and was intended to empower
client authors to create platform-independent clients - either console
progs, or GUI apps using wxWindows, FLTK, GTK+ etc.

Prior to fcptools, there was already libfcp, which was *nix-only. The
only raison d'etre for fcptools was a degree of platform-independence.

It feels like my effort was wasted. FreeWeb won't even build with the
cvs version of ezFCPlib. I was going to re-write FreeWeb to use FLTK,
and thus build native Windows and Linux versions.

I'm no particular fan of windows, and ultimately plan to make my
network a 'doze-free zone, but with the blatant and deliberate removal
of windows platform support, I have lost enthusiasm.

Enjoy the code guys.
Do what you want with it.

David
