I can do that! The main pain in the ass was really setting up a development environment that didn't involve actually having to use Windows 3.1 or Visual Studio from the era.

I was in the end able to do all of it on wine, and have it "just work" on windows 3.11.

That involved manually writing nmake files, and switching rc.exe with open watcom wrc.exe.

But the result is that it can now build on Linux with a bash script, and on windows 3.1 with nmake.
