You're technically correct, although "very likely to break" is a bit of 
a misnomer given that it has been  working like this for years.  I've 
added a class_name() member to the VIRTUAL_COPY_CONSTRUCTOR macro. But 
I'm not sure that it covers all cases. In any event, it's used for 
debugging purposes only.

We cross-compile the .exe under Linux.  Theoretically, you could build 
it under cygwin using, but that would be an -ehmm- interesting experience.
