		+	=== Why is the build process different on Windows? ===
		+
		+	Because Windows uses the PE-COFF executable format which does not support weak-symbols. Unlike ELF, all symbols in programs using COFF (or one of it's variants) must have any and all symbols defined at compile time. Gorm utilizes weak symbols because it's palettes take advantage of some of the code in the Gorm application. This is normally okay on most operating systems, but on Windows it's not.
