I personally thinks the gtk file chooser sucks compared to the windows' 
one (at least for windows 7) and I would like to keep the choice. But if 
it's too difficult to maintain I can live without it, I don't code very 
much under windows anyway (mostly only when my uni professors force me 
to do so :p )

What's the hard part about maintaining it?

Best regards.
