I'm working on the core language and features.  Several people have
offered to help with a Windows port.  There is a CYGWIN thread on the
BUSH forum.  I offered some suggestions in the new user guide on how to
tackle DOS and Windows ports, but to date I've heard no word on anyone's
progress.

I'd encourage a Windows port.  However, since I myself have no use for a
Windows version, you'll have to wait a long time if you expect me to
write the Windows port.  There are too many other items on my "To Do"
list.
