This is all good news. (And more feedback on code quality is always 
welcomed.)

I think what I'd like to do is release 0.09 soon -- just one more thing 
to tidy up. However, this won't include the two new ports.

* Solaris will be distributed as a source patch, for people to try.

* Native Win32 will be as a contributed binary.

After 0.09 is done, the first thing will be to integrate the two ports, 
and then move development forward. 0.09 is more of a maintenance 
release than anything else. (Oh for the time to spend a few weeks doing 
some serious development on new features.)

My thanks to Nick and Martin for their hard work on getting it working 
on strange platforms!
