Lets not pretend that > there is an in between state of FOR-RELEASE.W32. If we can not make a full release on w32 is there not an "in between state" then? But I suppose you want to be pragmathic about this. I guess I want that too. What I want is that the state of things on w32 should be visible so it does not confuse new or even old users or developers. Having a workaround is not bad (even if it is not the best). TODO is in the etc subdir. Does not that make it much less visible than admin? Also it does not really seem to contain things for release. I still think FOR-RELEASE.W32 is a good and simple name. However if we think that is to strong and TODO is too weak then we could try something else, but let it be visible! That shows we care and that attracts users.
