I downloaded the tagged tar ball, compiled it, and placed the winboard.exe 
and winoard.hlp in my installer tree.
I then ran the installer script, which I had changed to build 
WinBoard-4.0.0.exe (dropping the beta2).

I did a test install on my XP, of the complete package, and all menu items 
seem to be functional.
Also the one for PSWBTM, which I had forgotten in an erlier version.
PSWBTM starts is life with Fairy-Max and Fruit 2.1 installed in its engine 
manager.
(I did not pre-install any variant or Xiangqi engines.)

Michel came with a new Polyglot this morning (1.4.46b). I decided to put 
both Polyglots
(the other being 1.4.38x) in the package, and provide an example for how to 
use each of them.
This will speed up development of a consensus amongst users which method of 
managing
the polyglot.ini files the prefer. Polyglot is comparatively small, so this 
is no big deal.

The installer is now on my website (2.8MB): 
http://home.hccnet.nl/h.g.muller/WinBoard-4.4.0.exe .
I will invite Olivier Deville to also snatch it from there, and upload it 
to WinBoard forum
I already prepared a hosting page there:
