I compiled this for Windows by quickly tossing all the code into one file in VS (not
my machine, I didn't use Windows) and then making a .EXE about 5-10 times slower than
the equivalent Linux binary for Red Hat (no Fedora at the time). It only took a couple
of hours and I hadn't used VS or Windows for this program before that. I realised
that unless I make this .EXE my friends wouldn't be able to give it a quick run. That
Windows compilation came much later, around the time I put the code in SourceForge.
