[1] I'm not sure if this means all food and drinks (presumably being replaced by food pills or some other SFnal means) or just nice examples of such, though I'm not sure it makes much difference - the question is basically about what higher needs you'd be willing to surrender in order to extend lifespan.

More on windows building

I now have:

• A Mingw install on one of my Linux boxes
• A win32 .a of PCRE, which is one of the dependencies of my backup program
• Eliminated the gcrypt dependency by dropping the SHA-1 implementation from the RFC in
• Installed the free VC++ on my Windows box

Installing the PSDK's a bit steam-driven, isn't it? (I'm not sure whether I actually need it or not but I decided to just install everything.)

So all I have to do now is provide windows-friendly alternatives to all the POSIX-specific bits.
