Redoing the build system wouldn't be hard -- worst case, if it has to be
autoconfiscated, might be a day or so's work.

The *hard* bit is redoing all of the GUI code to work under Windows instead
of the Mac.  It's a non-trivial operation.  Tack an extra couple of zeros
onto your "few grand" and you'd probably be in the right ballpark.
