At some point Jeremy has to stop adding new features and start fixing
those that are in place. I would imagine that is why he said (read his
electronic lips) "no new ports" :). Sounds like to me he has a new toy to
play with (that being C++ for his windows) and he felt like making the mud
compile with it. Nothing wrong with that in my book. I have several
friends that are interested in this port, since it means they can run
circle as well, in some cases on their home computers, and in some cases
to free up some resources on an overloaded unix server by running it on a
PC instead. Both are cases where installing linux isn't an option for
them.
