Crapola. I was afraid that was going to be the case. This was
originally something to do to have fun playing with Objective C, I'm
not sure PECOFF support would fall under that :)  Any idea how nasty
that would be?
Oh well, I guess the idea of doing this on windows isn't going to
happen anytime soon.
