No. I do not work on Windows since some years ago. I advice you to work on
an Unix system. Better if it is an GNU/Linux.

I will update the Savannah (Download Area) tar ball this night. It is too
much outdated.

So as you can take a first look at the code, I have prepared this tar
ball of the code which is running now at www.gnuherds.org, with directory
names changed. But of course do not commit such directory names modifications:

Additional notes:
 * The code which is being used, it at the HEAD of the dev_1_1 branch.
 * Before committin anything I would like to take a look at the patch.


P.S.: We will use the Savannah task manager. We will add tasks there so as
to our work can be watched by anybody.

Please, let us know any problem you have,
