The problem for anyone who wants to enhance Ciderpress will likely not
be that it is written in C++, but that it uses MFC (MS Foundation
Classes) - which isn't included/licensed with the free versions of
Visual Studio. I.e. you must buy the dev environment first.

A great first step would be porting the UI to WxWidgets.
