Re: [pooma-dev] Re: [PATCH] Shorten filenames during build/link

[Dave Nystrom]

Perhaps John Hall should comment on this.  I know that he and his
collaborators are developing with Windows using Pooma 2.  I believe it is
possible to install gmake and other tools/utilities under Windows to make it
emulate a Unix environment.  However, most people who work in a Windows
environment probably want to take advantage of an IDE.

Anyway, I am copying John on this response.
