That sounds like a good idea.  You'll probably want to patch
hints/mswin32.pl

# also, to inspect core_ops.c in the debugger (instead of the

That's intentional--most of the time that you're debugging ops the .ops
file is more helpful.  However, I think that ops2c.pl can take a
command-line switch that turns off the #line directives.

# what is your opinion about these changes? if you think 
# they're worthy, I can submit a patch.

Go for it on the first one.
