Windows is a platform where the system already helps us with avoiding stack overflow. The project described on the Wiki page is targeting non-Windows platforms mainly, in particular Linux. There the system does not automatically increases stacks on an as-needed bases. This project requires low-level memory management knowledge and some experience with the Linux kernel might be advantageous.
