[PD] pdp/pidip on win32?

[Derek Holzer]

Hi John,

Well, I know what Yves' response to this will be ;-)

At any rate, I'd suggest GEM over PDP anyways, you can do most of the 
same things, it's truly cross-platform (i.e. has optimizations for each 
different architecture/processor, rather than PDP which is optimized for 
Linux + x86 only), it's much better documented and it's much more 
stable. According to the PDP and PiDiP authors, neither library will 
ever be ported to Windows.

best!
Derek
