Probably mapping to a unit first would work, but yeah, sucks to be in
Windows when most open-source projects are born in *nix. :)
Windows programmers have a closed-source mentality that was never like
in *nix. They are too busy with their closed-source work projects to
bother to contribute with open-source code and, thus, wanting to run
most free stuff today is a world of pain on Windows because it is very
unlike *nix.

Yeah, I wonder why -- having so many Windows users and some of them
surely being programmers -- no one has bothered to patch it yet.

It's still too little to bother, I guess. You talk like as if pressing
space and being presented with a graphical menu that works like any
other graphical menu you ever saw is the end of the world. I guess
people just learn the software way of doing things and get work done
rather than fight the software for being so unlike the rest available
for the platform. Those fighting it surely already migrated to
something else...
