Oh I did! Sources please :-) I agree that these sort of facilitators are helpful with deploying FreeBSD but wonder what this one achieves that couldn't be done with a simpler sockets program perhaps wrapped in a GUI? That could be implemented easily in Tcl/Tk on Win32. Would a port for a cross-toolchain hosted on FreeBSD to target Win32 be useful? Then yours and other similar applications could be supported by the ports framework. Some developers might even be able to rid themselves of M$ development seats entirely.
