Just that I have no idea where to find the information. I could of course read the manual, learn everything about CVS, but for the little thing I am asking about it I hoped for cooperation. >> And that this is what will be released. > > Why would they care, if they use the CVS code?

I have thought about it, but my conclusion is that I should not. I might be wrong. What I believe is that after the release there will be binaries for w32 avaliable from the ftp site where the tarballs are. Is not that correct? Why not make those now then? Or do you mean help is needed with that?
