Not the whole conversion, no. Just enough to confirm the suspicion that it  
affects compile time in Windows.

As other people in the thread have mentioned there are some tricky areas  
so before investing too much time in this, it seemed to be best to check  
with people with longer experience of the code if there was something  
we've missed.

Though the conversion is scripted so it can possibly be applied to large  
portions of the source code and then the tricky areas can be manually  
fixed.
