My grandfathers never smelled....A little lime goes a long way...
At this latitude, most of the older houses have lilacs in the back.
In the Spring, during the thaw, the lilac blossoms' intense perfume helped cover up the aroma of the thawing privvy.

Bud, sit down. Let me tell you the story of the Ferguson. Now these babies were made in Maine, you know, at the little Ferguson factory. It's the Stradivarius of toilets. And my Dad could play it like a violin. Yup, I'll never forget the time my dad took me to Maine to visit the factory. I had to go to the bathroom. And I begged him to pull into a truck stop. He said no, wait until we get there! It'll be worth it! It was!
Bud: Excuse me, Dad, but a toilet is a toilet.
Al: (grimacing) Bud... the toilets today aren't worthy of the name! They come in designer colors... they're too low! When you flush them, they make this weak, almost apologetic sound. But not the Ferguson. It only comes in white. And when you flush it... BaaaWOOOSH! That's a man's flush, Bud. A Ferguson says, "I'm a toilet. Sit down and give me your best shot." Oh, if only a Ferguson could speak, the tales it would tell!

The cooked waste is supposed to generate enough power in fuel cells to support the microwaves. Sounds cool, but very complex and buggy—kind of like Windoze®. Hard to image maintaining something like that in Third World conditions.

And by the time government gets done regulating it...

...resultant products and byproducts still have the lingering odor of poop ~ EVEN FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS! This is not a problem that Bill Gates can overcome.
Just open a new WINDOW!...........;^)

“Bill Gates has given Dutch researchers the task of creating a toilet that works without links to water, sewage or power networks.”
It’s already been “invented”, a long time ago. It’s called an “out house”, and in modern terms they already have portable ones.
Tell the Dutch researchers to just send Gates their own “out house” plans and collect the “research” money from idiot Gates.

Yep, I was going to say that as long as he's at it, Gates ought to get somebody to genetically alter/engineer a goose that lays golden eggs.
I imagine that bird would be pretty popular almost anywhere.
