one other point I would like to to get around is that it seems I'm now forced 
to get MSVC7 if I want to continue to follow the 2.1-dev development on Win32. 
Since the atomic functions were introduced last November, I'm no longer able to 
compile 2.1-dev. I've tried to update the platform SDK, but couldnt get around 
that update either (not a ASF problem, but M$); perhaps someone can point me to 
an update which cleanly applies to MSVC6 on W2K, and fixes the problem with the 
atomic functions?
If not, and MSVC7 turns out as mandatory, this will certaily raise the bar at 
least for Win32...

thanks, Guenter.
