Me again...

I don't think my reply to this was especially clear (it's 5.38am here -
long night!).

I think our goal is to achieve both of those aims (although initially just
for the compiler).

We want a single compiler, written from the ground up, that will work on
all popular platforms, so it would make the OOPic accessible to non-Windows
platforms, and would provide an alternative to the existing tools (and a
superior alternative!) on the Windows platform.

And in doing this we want to improve the language support substantially,
and make error reporting better (that one won't be hard!!).
