Because to test the program out, you have to set up a windows environment
anyway, you can't just assume it will work. Given that it is *far* easier
to simply recompile on windows, rather than mess with non-existent cross
compilers, especially if you are not familiar with such compilers (building
a cross *to* windows is especially complex).
