Please go ahead and commit any of the changes you've posted for Windows - I don't have time to look over them at the moment. In general it should be okay to commit; there can always be discussion afterwards if there are problems. The only time I imagine there could be problems with multiple commits at once is if there are conflicts between different people's work (I've found that svn can't even handle a simple merge conflict on a ChangeLog, at least I haven't found an easy way of doing so so far), so I will try to post in future if I am planning any large-scale changes that could conflict with other commits. (I will note I am not planning any such large-scale changes in the immediate future.)
