Hi all,

Yes please! There is one patch that I think is particularly important for 
win32:

 	svn diff -r 277:278 \
 	http://bbdev.fluffy.co.uk/svn/box/chris/win32/vc2005-compile-fixes

Without this, timestamp comparison does not work on Win32: a lot of 
warnings are generated.

Unfortunately it doesn't apply cleanly to the trunk. I'm about to fix that 
by copying trunk and manually applying the patch to the copy.

Indeed. IMHO it would not be very useful for people to test a version when
we know that some patches, which must be applied before release, have not 
yet been applied.

I'm planning anyway to apply this patch to a working copy and build win32 
binaries for testing tonight.

Cheers, Chris.
