Not really, but would you mind if I built the win32 binary from my 
general-fixes branch rather than trunk? I think the command socket fixes 
are worth having. Or I can produce binaries of both, and let people 
decide.

I have non-root access to a NetBSD box and I can do debugging on there. I 
managed to compile successfully after disabling HAVE_KQUEUE (no statfs 
issues on NetBSD 2.0.2) but some tests are failing.

I'm also in favour of getting the release out sooner rather than later.

Cheers, Chris.
