Thanks for the reply. Mostly, my programs contain all my own code and don't need any non-standard modules. A couple of my bigger projects do have external requirements, but I want to make sure my own code is portable before I worry about other people's modules :)

I like the idea you posted above. I just don't have a suitable Windows test platform up and running at the moment, which is why I am trying to weed out as many obvious problems as I can on my Linux development setup. I used to develop under Cygwin so a lot of my code will at least work in that context but I am not sure what that really says.

I guess the only 100% certain way is to set up an NT server and start running everything. Should be fun :)
