[impdev] Request for Windows testers. VS 2010 Express.

[Nicky Perian]

Licensing would still be a sticking point with redistributable files and the C 
runtime libraries. I suppose it would be possible to distribute  without them 
and have each user get there own through MS. But, that would not be a clean 
install experience for the user.

In fact, my point would be more to find a way of compiling Imp without Visual 
Studio, for the reason that even the free version requires registration to 
Microsoft with RL informations, which I don't want to provide and be associated 
with the license (no, i won't enter fake info into a license, against my 
principles). Eclipse runs fine on Windows, and probably not that much difficult 
to use as a project manager. I don't know much about what compiler else than 
MS's could do it. Obviously, the possibility of compiling for all 3 platforms at 
the same time is very seductive. Again, just dreaming, I guess ;)
