Actually, most of the window-ize side of the patch I made is yours in a 
generalized form, with some minor adaptions to the configure.in to keep it 
working on UNIX platforms (basically commenting out your patch when not on 
Windows).

Don't you just *love* open source? :)

Anyways, you're right about me waiting for 4.2, out of which I'm trying to 
iron out some bugs in an m4 macro I had to mangle to get it to work with 
the current autoconf.. I'll ping you when I've killed those bugs :)

(NB: I'll do the pinging either on cygwin-apps or on your personal mail, 
as you prefer)
