yeah, i got the message. There will be a new w32 pack as soon I have a) a
little time (not impossible), and a suitable internet connection to cvs up /
upload. Impossible in the moment (can't hack in a internet cafe...), but there
is hope for next week.
Then I should be back on IRC as well..
I even might complete the build-w32-howto then....
