Sounds like good reasoning... until you think about the fact that this is a 
user list that likely has many members (at least the Win32 ones) that do not 
have the required tools to accomplish the compiliation task... especially if 
your build is a MS VC++ one.  That said I have for the past week been 
modifying like mad the source for my many special needs, so thanks for 
sharing your modified source! :-)
