Note that it was not the goal anyway. I have built up a binding just to have
the most common features (working with the environment and launching external
program) and only the ones I needed for a project to achieve portability
between UNIX and Windows. And this has proved to be successful, I use Florist
under Linux and my binding under Win32. I have large distributed application
(yes using GLADE) that I have ported from Windows to Linux (that's the trend
here) without changing a single line :) Only one feature was not working. My
project was send e-mail by launching an NT program... To solve this I have
done an SMTP library that I do distribute too... see my homepage.
In anycase, some POSIX features will be hard to do under Win32 or you'll need
to build a shared library.
Pascal.
