Since there is 1.4rc1 out know and the code changed weeks ago, I don't
think there is another way than redoing the work. But since you've
done it once, it should be much faster the second time. But please try
it first with 1.3.4 to see if it's doable.

I thought about it. I guess you have three kinds of patches: the first
changes some Linux-specific stuff into a more Python way of doing
it. 1.4 already has some of these patches because of the BSD port. I
don't see any reason why we should not include this. The second type
is a small 'if' around some smaller blocks to do it the windows way
and not like Linux would do it. I also don't see a reason here.
But (there is always a but) I guess you can't port everything to
windows. E.g. I don't thing you can read the device to check if it's a
DVD or VCD. I would add 'Play DVD' to the menu and there better should
be a DVD in the drive. I also would use ZoomPlayer for normal files
and maybe WinDVD or PowerDVD for DVD/VCD discs. So you need extra
plugins, maybe you don't need the current once, like xine.
Conclusion: we have the Freevo core and some special plugins (and
special settings in freevo_config.py). IMHO, it would be the best to
patch the Freevo core that it works with windows, but we have a
different repository with win32 stuff: config and plugins. To make a
new win32 release, take the core (Unix release) and replace some
plugins and the config.

Yes. I don't care about windows. So if there will be a windows version
of Freevo, the users and developers should use there own list.
This is my point of view, other developers, please comment this.
