We may indeed decide that good support for the MS-Windows build is not
a prerequisite, but then we'd need someone to volunteer to fix any
potential problems, including breaking the MS-Windows build, as result
of the merge. IME, any breakage of that kind on master is left
unfixed until yours truly does it. If I'm unable to build the
native-comp code (and Andy just said the --with-wide-int
configuration, which is what I use, doesn't build), then I will be
unable to build and test this code, and will not be able to fix any
problems reported for master, whether on MS-Windows or on other
platforms. Then someone else will have to take over that job.
IOW, having a master branch that one of the co-maintainers cannot
build is not a good situation. We should try avoiding it, IMO.
