Windows C runtime version issue
This is Windows specific.
There are tricky issues here.
I suggest for this we build multiple releases, one per C runtime version.
Probably 2005 and 2008. That is probably the easiest solution.
(I already suggested this and it is partly/fully in place?)
I can try to look into it more, but building 2005 and 2008 should be easy enough.
I can actually easily enough build a "release" for
2.0, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 7.1 (2003), 8.0 (2005), 9.0 (2008)
10.0 is coming soon as well.
But I think 2005 and 2008 will suit most people.
We can also put up "boot" releases.

I'd like to cut the C runtime dependency, it is already pretty light,
but it hard to cut entirely, and that has issues for linking Modula-3 to C/C++.
Maybe linking statically will be ok and work?

"cm3 ?" crashes (array access out of bounds)

This is probably fixed.
Certainly the command line parsing had been recently
made crash prone and then improved.

32/64bit pickle issue.
I've never used pickles at all.
Needs investigation.


https://projects.elego.de/cm3/ticket/1068 

many GUI apps fail on AMD64_DARWIN.
Somewhat old report, by me.
We can cut this platform for this release if the bug persists.
 Lame.
Needs investigation/confirmation.

libz problem on Solaris.
fixed?


https://projects.elego.de/cm3/ticket/1056 

make-dist is confused on AMD64_DARWIN between
AMD64 and I386. Not a big deal either way.
Maybe fixed, or easy to fix, or cut the platform.
(I don't think we have AMD64_DARWIN in Hudson/Tinderbox.
My I386_DARWIN system can be it (on an alternate network at the moment).)
