[PD-dev] who wants to port [wacom] for windows?

[Thomas Grill]

i'd like to add that i would pass my existing source code on the  
anyone stepping in (permission from Wacom provided).
In my view (and as far as i remember) what's missing for it to work  
under Windows is just some window handling code.
gr~~~
