[Scribus] Win32 port

I'd prefer not to. I don't like having to rely on a third party
application when the maker of said application is a company who produces
a rival DTP package.

Remember, moving Scribus to Win32 will open a vast market and in that
vast market, it has to be able to stand on it's own two feet and if a
company goes "oh look, it's relying on Acrobat", then we lose out as the
next step is "why not just use InDesign"?

Sad, but it's the way of things.

TTFN
