Well, assuming there's someone crazy enough _wanting_ to run it on windows
;), there are lot of possibilities. One is to run GNU/Linux or some other
good operating system inside windows using VMware, other is to use Cygwin
[http://www.redhat.com, I believe] which should allow porting Barcode
easily to windows (probably just by recompiling--haven't tried though).

Porting Barcode to run on windows without any extra packages shouldn't be
too difficult either, if one can just work around the lacking features and
tools of the OS.
