Because we like YARN and don't like Windoze?

Didn't you just answer your own question? :-)

Last I knew you could only get JVM for a few specific
platforms.

As you can tell I'm not a fan of Java, but lets not turn
this into a Java Flame War. But I do but I do applaud your
effort to do it and hope you make it available to all of us.

Some thing that concerns me is assuming the source is
released, I think having thirty different versions of YARN
floating around might be worse that what we have now.

Can some one set up a CVS version control repository for the
source code so that there is only one master copy, that is
hopefully bug free, that changes, fixes, and enhancements can
be built against?
