 I noticed that Interix is not on the list of supported platforms. Is it 
 supported nevertheless, or has support for it been dropped in the 
 meantime?

 Honestly, I haven't tried to build it lately, but I suspect that the 
 problem still exists unless the people at Microsoft submitted some major 
 patches to the project.   Interix is now known as Services For Unix, and 
 I know that we have been able to get a newer version of the compiler 
 built here inhouse (I believe it was 2.95.3), but I am not familiar with 
 the level of difficulty that was involved in doing so.  I am CC'ing the 
 person here that built it.   Ben, do you have any comments on this?
