Hi John,
Now I remember why I never figured out how to contribute. I don't have a
Visual Studio 2003 compiler (only 2008 is available from microsoft any more)
and I don't have time to figure out all the flags and so on to compile. I do
have Mingw32 but no jumbling of ["python.exe", "setup.py", "install", "-c",
"mingw32"] will start it compiling, with and without quotes.

Anyway, I tried different things to get a diff file with the current source
for about an hour but I really need to get back to my data crunching now.

I would like to contribute but only on the interface/python front. Is it
possible to svn checkout just the *.py files or a way around needing to
compile the binaries?

Regards,
Jack
