I agree that considering porting issues for Windows is important.
Unfortunately, I have no idea how to port Unix specific shell scripts (like
GIS.sh) to Windows. Also, Markus has asked me to finish this interface soon,
therefore, I do not have time to learn how to port shell scripts to Windows. I
would greatly appreciate it if you could provide any assistance with the
porting issues for Windows.

Thank you for your comments.
