This is brand new information, so essentially the whole
assumption was false, that we should get rid of GET(), is this
the case? How about adding a class(y) compatibility .prg,
which forwards GET() to HBGET() and so on?

Or I can easily revert this, no problem, but I'll keep the
XPP class separation anyway.

I couldn't find any evidence of IA64 support in MinGW.
Not even AMD64 is supported yet. There are however
some new file released on MinGW website.

It'd be great if GCC would finally endorse the Windows port...

Brgds,
