Half of the comments are russian.

This makes it incredibly hard to understand the code and/or contribute. I would recommend to translate all russian comments to english, perhaps with some automated translate tool. This would make the project much more accessible and understandable for newcomers, especially as it lacks a proper documentation such as how to build and quick start examples.

I would even do this, just want to know if the community would welcome it.

I'm all for translating comments, but using an automated translation tool some of the original meaning would surely get lost.

Using automated tool is definitely pointless, unless you'll check every comment after that and remove/revert useless. Having bad comment might be worse than not having any.

By the way, not only plenty of the comments are Russian, but also a lot of files are using Windows-1251 encoding instead of UTF-8. This makes some '\n' in source files get parsed incorrectly under Windows (I'm using GBK as default text encoding and this makes that sometimes some Russian character'\n' be recognized as a Chinese character, thus eating '\n' and the following line of code), which results in compile error and weird bugs. (At first the 3 out of 4 tools crash at startup, and I take a long time to find where the bug is.)

Perhaps you should convert all the source files to be UTF-8 encoded?

FYI: I use this script to convert them (I'm under Windows)

@echo off
set PATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin;%PATH%
for /F "delims=" %%f in ('dir/a-d/b/s *.cpp *.h *.txt') do (
    iconv.exe -s -f UTF-8 -t UTF-8 "%%f" > NUL
    if ERRORLEVEL 1 (
        iconv.exe -s -f CP1251 -t UTF-8 "%%f" > "%%f.tmp"
        if ERRORLEVEL 1 (
            echo Error: %%f is neither UTF-8 nor CP1251!
        ) else (
            copy /y "%%f.tmp" "%%f"
            echo %%f is converted from CP1251 to UTF-8
        )
        del "%%f.tmp"
    )
)
@echo on

Hi, please look at a patch #132 which converts Windows-1251 encoding files to UTF-8.
