As I mentioned some time ago, I started a branch on MinGW. It works quite

And I lack the time to continue working on it.

Those are not the only problems with scripting. Scripting is fine for 
prototyping, but _anything_ remotely serious should be implemented using a 
portable (!) and safe (!) API.
