Please explain to me carefully why I should put a lot of effort into generating undocumented .sln files for a platform that I do not use, when there is nobody paying me to do so?
You shouldn't, as you don't care about the problem. Some of us are more cross-platform oriented than you are, so we should / do care. For instance, one of my strategic goals is to move the OCaml programmer culture from UNIX-centric to platform neutral. I can only do that by getting tools to work equally well in both environments.
If you are cross-plataform oriented you should not support OSes that are always trying to impose their proprietary *non-cross-plataform* APIs!
This is a matter of politics, not technology. If you preffere to just say: "I don't care about politics. You all are deviating from the subject!"... Then you have a problem! Because belive it or not: "This *is* a matter of politics".
But don't worry, you can always find politically alienate people to help you.
My point was simply that UNIXen aren't in a morally superior position as far as cross-platform support. They're just as disinterested in native Windows support as Microsoft is in native UNIX support.
This is not true! Have you ever heard about POSIX? What is the equivalent for windows? Have you ever heard about the tiral Sun x Microsoft?
