If there is a 1.7.2 build, will it include these fixes?

OK, I tried running the pcb-20110918.exe that was in my
c:\geda-20120318 that I unpacked from the build-*.zip, and I took
the default directory of C:\Program Files\geda\whatever and if I
run that pcb.exe, I get the icons and everything looks good.  But
that doesn't help gschem.  I tried also installing the
pcb-20110918.exe to my c:\geda-20120318 directory, but that didn't
make it work from there.

Also, I found that I had to change your environment variable
suggestsions.  The geda-windows web page suggests
build\gEDA\share\guile\1.8 and
build\gEDA\share\gEDA as paths, but there is no gEDA\share
directory under that root.  So I changed them to
c:\geda-20120318\share\guile\1.8, etc.

Regards,
Colin
