FWIW, Qt runs nicely on Windows. The only real issue there was to 
implement a way to handle all possible types of events (console, stdin, 
Qt pipe, Windows messages) at the same time. That has been solved in a 
non-portable way, but so is the code using select() on Unix-like 
systems. See the ChangeLog entry on 2014-02-14 and the SF patch tracker 
#645.
