Talking of building XSB for Windows and considering that the Express Edition of
Visual Studio is now freely
available(http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/express/future/bb676746.aspx), it
would be nice if we can have a Visual Studio Project for XSB and, maybe, a
Windows Installer package so that a user can be selective in choosing what  she
wants to install.

Let's hope one day, XSB for CLI/CLS
(http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-ST/Ecma-335.pdf) will
be available then it won't be matter if one is a Mac or Linux or Windows user
;-)
