[hpsdr] [OT] Microsoft Launches Its .NET Distribution for Linux and Mac

[John Laur]

Unfortunately while mostly this is all a good thing, it doesn't really help
the HPSDR projects using .NET because WinForms is not part of .NET Core.

The port of KK was possible with Mono's NetForms emulation, but this
library is not nearly sophisticated enough for PowerSDR as it uses an
implementation which substitutes each form control in a thread-safe wrapper.

The GUIs dependent on Windows Forms are the major stumbling block for
porting; all of the native code (FFTW, WDSP, PortAudio) works just great on
most every platform already. Not that there aren't other small issues --
this is just the big one.
