On the topic of makefiles, I'll jump in with a barely-related comment...
when I snagged glean and built it for Win32, I had to make a number of
modifications to the makefiles to coax it into building.  The first was
that they seem to be stored with Unix newlines in them, which was giving
MSVC 6's nmake a really rough time, and then that .STRICT : directive at
the top I just had to remove to convince it to build at all.

It's been a week or two since I did it, but it sure took a lot of work.
Maybe it worked with MSVC 5 or something?
