In my case, there are practical benefits to free software since I don't 
have an x86-processor available, let alone one with access to windows or 
even wine. Using binary-only DLL:s is currently a major hassle for me. 
(I do have some ideological reasons, too, but that's not the showstopper 
in this case.)

To Colin: Are you familiar with the program memaid, available in 
debian/ubuntu as memaid-pyqt?
