Although recovery was a long time (8 or so months of problems and pain) it worked out much better than I thought. All the pain and numbness is gone and my bottom and top jaw are in the correct position (instead of being 12 mm or so off)..

I am using CMake to generate the project files so that with the same source (checked into cvs) I can also build and execute my applications in 64 bit gentoo linux using kdevelop as the build environment on the linux side. At this point I have not had any serious problems running my applications on both platforms but they are in no way as big as bat is at this time. I am interested in this and it is a possibility that I can help with that. I can not promise anything though. My time is always short.
