Probably true, the only reason I mentioned it was because I get
a fair number of personal mails asking for help and they are mostly
relating to windows.
Too often I just have to say "Can't help. Run with "--debug"",
although there are sometimes cases when I can help they are often
less than I'd like.

Thanks :)
I'd be sorry to never touch the project again, but at the same time
I can't help thinking that most of the ideas I have for future
development involve scary databases (even using sqlite) and that is
almost a complete u-turn from how things have been so far.
ie. the current code makes use of no non-core modules and tries
to be portable. My ideas for work mostly involve removing lots of
custom code and replacing it with HTML::Template, DBI::SQLite,
HTTP::Server, etc. That would make the code
a) Smaller
b) Simpler
c) Easier to understand, extend, and modify
But the downside is that there would suddenly be major portability
issues for windows people, as well as a bigger list of dependencies
for the Linux/Unix people too. Something that most people seem to
be against.

Thats very much appreciated. You already have CVS commit access and
that probably applies to the website too - although to be honest that
doesn't get updated very often.

Great!
I'll try to sort out a release over the weekend, once I've updated
the bug reporting code to do something other than mail me personally.
Perhaps just summerise the details into a form and suggest posting
to the list? I'll think about that for the next day or two.
