	Hehe.  Again, I didn't mean to imply that all Windows users
are dolts.  Gah.  

	Also, something else to consider, Icarus is a command line tool
to begin with and requires skill to drive.  That in itself is a barrier
to use right off the bat.  While GUI programs seem to be held to a totally
different standard.  I see it everyday, that if a GUI program doesn't
behave *exactly* how a user expects, it is immediately discarded and
based on this limited exposure gets a bad reputation.  That's not very
fair and I'm trying hard to avoid setting gEDA up for that sort of
PR disaster.
