Rob has already moved the OS-specific parts (or what he regarded
to be OS-specific parts, I think there are more code in the rest of
the code that has to be OS-specific, we'll see) into a source file of it's own.
It's still one file with " #ifdef OS2, #elif Windows, #endif " type of conditionals.
Maybe one should look into truly separate source files for the different
OS'es (just the parts that have to be different, not the basic code), that
would be easier to manage in a distributed development environment.

Anyway, I just started yesterday, so I need a few days more to
get a feel about it...

And you know that I really need this port :-) :-)

And, there is still the issue with keeping up with the "original"
XWisp...
