Good. Thanks

Of course.
I also fully understand that GNU/Linux users are a small fraction of
the total users, and that MapGuide developers seem more comfortable
with Windows.
But actually the use of MapGuide under GNU/Linux is so painful that
prevents users (even experienced ones) to contribute to the code. It
is difficult to contribute if the code does not compile nor exists a
binary to play around with.
Removing some of the problems will probably attracts some external
developers, that in turn may help to solve the remaining ones.
