Visit the web page again and read the updated information (last updated
today).  In a nutshell, there are a few minor issues but the posted 
binaries seem to work well enough to allow very large, complex projects
to be completely built on Windows 2000.  Avoid deep directories (>7 levels
deep) - there is a bug we have recently diagnosed but isn't yet fixed.

The code is "beta" quality at this stage.  Almost 600 people have downloaded
at least one zip from this site and you can see the short list of known
remaining problems.
