Porting CubicConvertor would be a decision for Michael Bradshaw of
ClickHereDesign, as CC is commercial software belonging to him.
You might be getting mixed up with MakeCubic which is free from Apple
(and I believe the source code is also available on the Apple Developer
site), but this wouldn't add much over the basic version of PanoCube
which has most of the same functionality.

Hi George,
Your comment about porting CubicConverter to Windows is something that
I would love to see happen? Can anyone else on the list advise if this
has been attempted or is even possible? Before, I get the "buy a mac
mini for USD499 response, I have considered that already, and do not
disagree, but funds are too short at the moment!
Best regards,
Russell

who knows, maybe someone will port J# too to Mono (.NET for Linux /
Unix /
MacOS-X) apart from C#
my little experience on Macs is programming with CodeWarrior for
OpenDoc
some QuickTimeVR "editors" (components) back in 1997 ;-) and some iMac
usage
later on (on the not-very-poweful 1st iMac unfortunately).

it's supposed to be a Linux tradition to use freebe software, but on
Windows
too you'll find lots of people (esp. hobbyists) very hesitant to buy
software tools that are very specialized (they tend to buy bigger, less
powerful and more general software suites - the rest they expect to
find
free or even clopyrighted unfortunately)
cheers,
George
btw, is CubicConverter using Cocoa or something that makes it harder
to port
it to Windows? Would be nice to have a command-line version in that
case
combined with some simple GUI to select params (or with some remote
web-based HTML GUI that spits out the params to pass to the
command-line
version or something). Speaking of remote GUI, having a cheap remote
pano/cubic stitching service might be the way to go for amateurs in the
future (would work nicely especially for people with web-browsing
camera-enabled cellphones)
