Should we even mention Win32?

On one side it might be more developers involve, but on the other side it might put of pure Linux developers from helping. I am talking about this section in the article:

Non-Linux developers can also help
XBMC can also be compiled for Win32 (Microsoft Windows) operating-systems with Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 (7.1) or higher, so even though Team-XBMC will be concentrating on the Linux port of XBMC, it will not hurt if some people who prefer Microsoft Visual Studio as a developement platform volunteer to help with getting the Win32 port of XBMC up to par as well, as a preperation for possible future cross-platform versions of XBMC.
  • HOW-TO: Compile XBMC for Win32 from source code (to come soon!)

one development page

Created the XBMC_development wikipage. The plan is to first move os unspecific stuff and then look if os specific information fits there to. Its probably better to have one development introduction page in stead of one for every OS.
