I neither want to convert Windows people to Unix (bash,
etc.), nor want to convert Unix people to Windows (Win32,
.NET, etc.).

The Seed7 package provides several makefiles, which are
tailored to different operating systems and C compilers.
Supported OS are Linux, BSDs, Unix, Mac OSX, Windows and
DOS. Details can be found in seed7/src/read_me.txt .

Essentially only two tools are necessary.
 1. A C compiler
 2. A make utility

For a source code release this barrier is IMHO very
low. On many "development computers" both tools are
probably already installed. When it is required to
install other things, before the actual install can
start, many people will just give up.
