   Which is why this route wasn't my first choice. The required changes
look as if they're too far down to line to apply separately; they require
previous, possibly unrelated, revisions.

   I'll take the time later to see if I can figure out exactly how many
trunk revisions I'd need.

   I poorly phrased it; all I meant was, I'm likely going to be unable to
verify that it builds on Windows. The code's actually not as ifdef'd as it
first appears, and a quick walk-though makes me think it *should* be OK. I
just won't be able to check myself.
