It isn't needed by Tux Paint at all at the moment, but I use it for
several other projects.

I know building my own libraries might seem a bit neurotic, but it has
been useful on several occasions. If it doesn't work, who's going to fix
it? Windows is a bit of an unloved step-child.

This seems like a good opportunity to dump VC6 for all my non-Windows
specific stuff, especially as it will mean others can build Tux Paint
for Windows without having to send Mr Gates any (more) money :-)

I may need some help with the Tux Paint make file - I just hacked it up
so that it worked, but it could do with a new target, like beos, any
suggestions for a name? Would 'make mingw' be acceptable? What about
'make win32'? I'm not sure what the protocol for naming these things is,

cheers,
John.
