Missed that question. 2 months should be okay (beginning of May). There is one nasty bug for the Visual C++ compiler and the wxGC backend, where I have no idea how to solve that. So 2 months is as good as 3 months (since it's pure luck if I fix it). There is a workaround for this bug (not using dynamic drivers), so I'll change the cmake files accordingly in time.
