Sure I am but I usually try fixes and mods on Linux first:

- *much* easier and faster

- I use Octave on both Linux and Windows so I have to try both anyway

- I can try in Linux immediately, while for Windows I first have to build an
installer or binary archive, transplant it to Windows and install it there.
That's ~20-30 mins. for each tiny step  versus  1-2 mins. on Linux 
Were you aware of that, Rafael?  ;-)
