Oh, I wish others could think this clearly.  Quoting a serious line off of
a task list at an unnamed company:

   - Make Linux kernel compile under windows.

I don't think it will move past just being a wish list item, but there seem
to be people that think it should be done.

Admittedly, they don't want developers doing it on windows, but want to
integrate kernel building into a windows-heavy build and release process.
