Inertia. I’m not aware of any Windows users... (and the for building it
I need to install Haskell and mingw and the installer and stuff under
wine, which is quite annoying). 

I would be very happy if someone would step up and maintain the Windows
version of it, given that I don’t run windows and can’t properly test
this.

Hmm. I guess this needs someone to look into it, but that won’t be me...
it can be you, though :-)
