No problem, and thank you. I checked it in to the 4.1 branch.
Let me know if there are other pending Windows patches I can help
with. I want this port to work well, I just am not the person to be
doing the work... but I can ping folks or check in patches or
whatever.
I saw that the libgcj.dll thing kind of got dropped -- what's up with
that?
Also, on a more general note, it would be good if people started using
the patch tracker. I think we lose the occasional patch, but now that
we have the technology to avoid this, we ought to use it. Read how
