Roger,
Thank you for the suggestion. I see that binaries for the 0.2.x branch
are not yet up. I do pretty well with building stuff on Linux (always
via SVN/CVS where possible) but find building the same programs on
Windows can be... harder.
For an experienced Windows/*nix user, but amateur programmer, how hard
-- or rather how long -- do you think it would take me to build it
from the source?
