So you'd rather make it both harder to maintain and less platform 
independent for others just because of your ideological standpoint in 
regards to licenses and some minor inconvenience of installing a few 
more packages?

Also, as Kevin said, you can keep using the old system and adapt it to 
your own needs, nobody is forcing anything on anybody here.

Back when I used to play, I had to change things in the source and 
basically rewrite the msvc project completely to be able to compile it 
on windows xp/7 at the time.
Kevin might even remotely remember me, since I reported many ansi c (and 
other) issues, which I found during that time.

In short, making the source more platform independent and easier to 
maintain for the current maintainers sound like a good step forward to me.
