Win10 bash and BaCon

[jcfuller]

Peter,
I am a Windows Insider and just received the latest Windows 10 Insider update.
This update includes a Ubuntu bash shell. It is not a VM.

I installed it, gcc and a couple others using apt-get install and built BaCon from source. Took forever but it did compile.
Tried a simple PRINT "Hello World" and it worked.
I am having an issue with my translator when translating to "c"? c++ seems ok
gcc/g++ compiler is 4.8.4

Just thought you would like to know. No desktop or gui but I did install the gtk2 dev package only because I wanted
glib and gobject.

Thanks James,

That's interesting. Though I wonder if everything can be compiled. For example, the EXEC$ function uses 'fork()', which typically is a C function not available in Windows.

Anyway, if some programs compile natively, then I guess it's a gain
