That's a fact!

My real goal is a bit less glorified than making Linux newbies more
comfortable with Windows apps on their Linux desktops, or grabbing some
of Windows' unique functionality for Linux.  No, what I really want to do
is see how much extra "stuff" I can get from the combination of Win4Lin
and Linux, with the hope of encouraging Trelos to include specialized
Python interfaces in Win4Lin.

I'd still like to do all the other stuff (one day), but I'm a realist:
There is no way a Python newbie such as myself can pull this off (this
year).  But I do feel I can produce some "proof of concept" examples that
may get a few of the *real* Python gurus interested in the project.  If
for no other reason than to clean up my code...
