I realise this is overkill, but:

There is a simple Python wrapper of recode which I have a setup.py for and
which compiles on win32 with mingw... but though it seems quite stable on
unix, it crashes on windows, and I haven't got debugging working yet on my
machine.

So, if you feel like fixing it, you're welcome to it.
