Thanks Kai. I'll either stick with the 32-bit version (w/ Keegan's 
installer), or just keep using meld-1.6.1 since it works great. Thanks for all 
your hard work!

@Keegan
- did you grab the png icon for the version control?
- do you have pygtksourceview included in the installer?
- you can get gnu patch win32 binary from gnuwin here:

http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/patch.htm
it is a standalone binary

But unfortunately there is some conflict with UAC on >windows 7; see this:
http://math.nist.gov/oommf/software-patchsets/patch_on_Windows7.html

If you can get the line numbers, syntax highlighting and version control 
working with meld (any-version) then I will definitely switch to you installer 
and spread the word.


Thanks,
Mark Mikofski
