With Cygnus porting XFree4 to WinXX, wouldn't it be better to consider a
'straight' port of NAS to WinXX, and maybe an integration of NAS *in*
XFree? Multiple implementation trees are not necessarily a bad thing -
when a protocol is an RFC or even a de facto standard. But a the stage
NAS is now, IMHO multiple implementations would be a problem. The
license is certainly not so restrictive that a rewrite from scratch
might be needed!
