This is a legitimate concern, and that is basically what happened with 
earlier Windows ports of Rosegarden.  The difference this time is that I 
am a Linux guy who uses Windows reluctantly.

As David points out, Qt applications are very portable.  I have some 
experience porting Qt applications to other platforms, and it generally 
goes very smoothly.  The problem with Rosegarden is all its hard ties to 
APIs that only exist on Linux.

More true words were never spoken.  Windows is an evil environment for 
development.  I wish it were possible to cross-compile from Linux, the 
way it is for Android apps.
