Yes, but you can't expect it to magically appear without somebody doing it. And it seemed you were waiting for FSF to add it. This means (to me) that you should do it. : Here wait a minute, why don't you do it Martin, nothings preventing you. : If you can ask me to do it well I too can ask you to add support for : precompiled headers to gcc too ;-) Yes, you can. But I haven't shown any interest in having them. Furthermore, I really think it's a waste of (my) time; I have really no use for them. And why should I try to make the piece of junk WINDOZE any better when it even can't stay up for one whole day?
