Hi Camm and everyone,

Apologies for the appearance of non-activity on my part.  My WinXP machine
has been struggling for awhile and has given up the ghost -- so to say.  I
knew this was going to happen eventually but didn't expect it presently.
(It's struggles may have been behind my inability to build a GCL-ansi
variant on WinXP.)

Since the only reason to try and get an WinXP machine up and running would
be to help out with WinXP tests of GCL -- and I don't know who might be
using WinXP still -- I'm not sure it's worth an entire machine to do this.

If you all think it is important to have an winXP-proven build I can pursue
putting a virtual machine on my Vista box and install XP into it -- but
event this wouldn't be a `real' WinXP installation.

What do you all think?  Do we try to make sure it works on WinXP or do we
stop at 2.6.7 for XP?
