One idea I've thought about that we should consider is making a libc
replacement for use on windows, which is actually C99-compliant and
has proper UTF-8 and sockets support. I'd actually be interested in
seeing the libc code I wrote be reused for this purpose - I don't have
the time or testing resources to write it myself but I'd be happy to
discuss with someone else working on it. Such a project could remain
at a 'wrapper' stage, just replacing the broken parts of MS's
implementation, or it could be aimed at providing a complete and free
libc on windows.
