The ircleech code is basically split up in 2 parts: IrcLeechCore, and
the GUI above it.  On Windows, the GUI is implemented with
System.Windows.Forms (SWF).   SWF doesn't work on Linux (allthough the
Mono team is working on it) so the Linux version uses GTK# for the
GUI.  GTK# however does not work properly on Windows so for now it is
necessary to have a different front-end for each platform.   But both
the Linux and Windows version use the same underlying cross-platform
code (IrcLeechCore).  So the only thing that would be needed is for
someone to develop the GUI in GTK# or to update the existing GTK# GUI.
