I'm actually quite eager to dig into CBuilder, but it seems like 
everytime I get ready to something comes up. Fixing the Windows code 
should be trivial. I've got a lot of the scaffolding already written for 
doing static builds; I don't think it'll take much to complete it. The 
code for building executables should also be trivial. I just gotta find 
some time...
