Well, I didn't have the time to do anything useful during the holidays
but I try to improve myself.
Yves made me wish subversion had easy feature branches like git does
(I would be close to considering a switch to github/gitorious if not
for the externals :/)
Anyway - great job Yves!
I've set up a review board instance under dev.srem.org so when someone
is willing to try it go ahead!

It's actually beta since a few weeks ;)

Hmm, maybe someone could make a precompiled package with just the
headers and dlls of those dependencies? Unpack them into merkaartor
dir and voila?
