If someone wants to put in the effort to get dia to work on another
platform, do you really think it is the right thing to stop them because
you don't like the platform?
If anything, this sort of thing makes free unix like operating systems a
more desirable platform for writing cross platform GUI apps (the majority
of the patch was windows makefiles and a few bug fixes that are not
windows specific).
If it is any consolation, GTK applications generally work better under X
than windows (redraws aren't handled as well) at the moment. GTK-1.4 will
probably change this as it is becomming cross platform itself (at least X
and win32 will be supported -- probably beos as well).
