In this case, my guess is that this bugfix isn't important enough to push a release. If there was a nightly build, the bug reporter could use that for development until an official release came out. The only reason I even suggested this is because setting up a windows build environment is substantially more complicated than building on unix. If he was on unix, he could easily just cvs up on the appropriate branch and build it himself. -- Jim C.
