As I said in the other thread, I _hate_ export. It's one of Windows largest 
misfeatures IMHO. It drives me nuts when I have to deal with it in C++. The 
fact that Linux exports everything is _fantastic_. It's so much easier to deal 
with. I'd _hate_ to see Linux or anything we do move in the direction of what 
Windows has done.
