I agree. I'd like us to avoid efforts or comments to hinder the development on
Windows. In fact, I'd like to encourage Windows users to join in the
development effort.
At the same time, I have no problem with ignoring those who bemoan the
developers for not doing more to support Windows. I also have no objection
toward any one who choses not to contribute to supporting Octave Windows.
