This is what I'd *really* like to see happen 'cause this is what
mgetty is lacking today: easy to use Windoze support.

I'll gladly include it in the frontends/ tree, but I won't be able to
help you develop it -- I'm totally unable to do *anything* under
Windows except make it crash (true multitasking: crashing while booting!).

What about basing your work on this package?
