Another idea for tinc on windows

[Jason]

Since the lack of code to implement a virtual network adapter driver 
(tun/tap equivalent) seems to be the primary roadblock preventing a tinc 
port to Windows, has anyone given any thought to the idea of implementing 
a very basic pptp server front-end for the tinc code (in place of the 
tun/tap driver) whose sole purpose would be to allow a windows PPTP client 
connection to connect to it via a localhost connection?

I know a pptp "server" would not be trivial to code, but it should be 
easier to code than a virtual network adapter device driver for windows, 
and since it will have a very specific use, it won't have to fully 
implement the whole ppp protocol (eliminating all of the authentication 
stuff would really ease the coding burden...).

I'm not sure if my coding skills are up to even this task, but if noone 
sees any obvious issues, I may try to tackle this someday...

Thoughts?
