Thanks for testing :-)

yes, I know that. As you installed the EFL with he installer, images are 
not found in the tests for example, as the path is hardcoded. There is no 
way to do that right now. The code must be improved.

all that stuff about moving and resizing the Windows has been greatly 
improved in svn. Once i finish ecore_con port, i'll make a new installer.

yes, fontconfig is not that great on Windows. I have to replace it by 
something more Windows-friendly.

hmm, there are a lot of DLL to load, and they are big (i compiled with 
-g). Without them, the cold start can be decreased, I guess. I'm wondering 
if there are Windows tools to find he bottlenecks (or tools working with 
wine)

don't hesitate to help ! I'm currently the only dev on the windows port 
:-)

I can explain the problem if you really want to know the details, but as 
it is fixed in svn, i'm not sure you still want to know :-)

cheers
