Note to everyone, if you don't want people to waste their time using
WINFILE on your executables when the source code is available (GPL,
duh!), always run strip on your .exes so the symbol tables that let
decompilers/debuggers do their thing are removed. This also has the
benificiary side effect of more than halfing your executable sizes. :)
