Are you sure? When I do a 'set GC_ENABLE_INCREMENTAL=1' I get
a "... has caused an error in KERNEL32.DLL" on startup. I then 
tried using 'GC_enable_incremental()' in my native code, but it
gives the same result. I also noticed that in your xwt code you
have the following comment in Win32.cc:
 // turn on incremental GC now that we have a user-visible interface
 // [[this is causing segfaults; enable it later...]]
 // GC_enable_incremental();
I would like to use the incremental garbage collector, but I don't 
think it's working under Win32 - unless you have a patch you'd like 
to share? :)
