Think in terms of percentages. Support Windows. My feel is that most of
the users will use it on Linux though.
We do support Windows, so no problem there. IMP builds with a recent version of Visual Studio Express (our build host uses 2010) which is free. In principle it would build with gcc on Windows too, but I don't think anybody ever tried that.
