It's hard to maintain two branches of a program. I would prefer to
integrate the changes into the main repository, with proper #ifdefs for
OS selection. That way, new features and bug fixes will show up in
either version.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with a larger user base. :-)

Yep. Actually, I've been thinking about a Windows port myself. I wasn't
aware of the free Windows version of Qt3, however, so I considered a
port to Qt4 (which is open source even for Windows) first. That would
have been much more work, however, so I placed it at the far end of my
ever-growing TODO list. ;-)

I guess I'll boot my laptop (it's got mingw/MSYS installed already) and
see what I can do.

Stay tuned,
