Hieu,

I'm open to donating our work to trunk. As you know, we already
contributed the core Moses C++ source to trunk, but trunk has progressed
significantly since that time. There's also a long tail with other
supporting C++ libraries (XML-RPC, etc).

Our breakthrough with Windows was custom Makefile scripts (i.e. not
bjam). They cross-compile Windows binaries on a Linux host build
environment that static-link Mingw-w64 libraries. We no longer have the
expertise in-house to maintain these scripts. If anyone in the Moses
community is willing to take over that code maintenance, I can also
contribute and help walk the new maintainer through the steps.

We also have the cross-compile scripts to build OSX binaries on a Linux
host build environment. The build options were never optimized. So, the
binaries are slow. In addition, we found that OSX's non-GNU utilities
(sort, gzip, etc) were incompatible with the Moses perl script . Instead
of breaking the scripts, we created and tested GNU versions for OSX.
Unfortunately, I only have the source not the binaries. I'm happy to
donate those to trunk if they will help.

Regards,
Tom
