Well OSS supports Solaris, which means, yes!  MSVC likely won't run on
my ARM 9 based embedded system, but gcc sure the hell will ;)  The
discussion is all a bit off topic now I think.  As I've said before,
this may indeed turn out to not be a fork, if it seems to make sense to
go that direction in making FluidSynth natively C++.  I've been kicking
around the thought of doing a GObject re-code of it just for the hell of
it.  It probably wouldn't take that long, and something like GOB might
help.  That would at least give us all a better idea what would be the
best long term solution.

Not sure any such translation is needed, unless you mean writing a C
binding for the C++ re-work.
