I personally think that putting a standard cross platform system in
place would be more useful. Whenever there is duplication there is
always the risk that things will go out of sync!

However if this is a bit too out of scope then merely maintaining a VS
project would suffice. I would prefer to do the former and am willing
to give my time to do so.
