??? no! I have built from 0.8.6 as it is at present. The fix (my email
above has a stray "with", sorry) is just to build with inet.h forcing
the endianness swap. No changes to sources. If we had a proper Makefile
based build system it would no doubt build ok (I don't know how libsmf
indicates that MIDI is big endian, but however it is done could no doubt
be made to work on Windows).

No. 0,8.6 has everything from our code freeze of Friday night, nothing
should go in after except showstopper bug fixes, which we have none of.
