Agreed.  We have a limited amount of energy to devote to a Windows port at this time, but we would be happy for core to work well on Windows.  Most of the library depends only on the version of OCaml, so it should be pretty easy to port.  We've done a bit of ifdef work to make it a tad more portable (it's known to compile so far on FC5, Centos/RHE 4 and 5, and OS X.)

Jane St. seem to be using CentOS, if some comments in the source are
correct.

There's also lots of #ifdef __linux__ in the code and it's obvious
there's a lot of Linux-specific work being done -- eg. bindings for
non-standard Linux system calls.

So there you go - it's open source, you can port it to Windows!
