gnucash gnome2/Gtk2 Windows

[Christian Stimming]

Hi,

there has been some discussion about a windows port last december. My writeup 
at  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.apps.gnucash.devel/12615 is 
still valid. Let's first finish the gnome2 port and then think about a 
windows port.

Christian

P.S.: Just a side note from Germany: The German online banking library 
aqbanking/aqhbci is already up and running on windows/mingw32. The 
German developer(s) would therefore be more than happy if GnuCash would 
be available on windows as well
