Thanks for confirmation. It sounds good.

Yesterday, it was my first attempt to get familiar with libpgf
and I spotted the use of MFC/Windows API, so it raised my questions.
Later on, I dug the code and found that it's wrapped with
conditional compilation very well, so should not cause any problems
on non-Windows platforms.

As you confirms intention to support other platforms,
then it's very well. In case I have updates, I'll submit them.

Best regards,
