Now consider how many people is that 1% out of India.

As one more data point, my main development machine runs Windows XP.
That's where I maintain and develop Emacs, that's where all the
ezwinports ports are produced, that's where I build GDB and Make and
Guile and Texinfo and Gawk -- all of them (and more) available from
the ezwinports site.  Until now I had no problems with compiling any
project which uses Gnulib.  I guess this is about to change.
