Well, I've updated the timezone info, and tidied the NSString header 
file, and all the changes I
made just after the last release seem to have stabilised, so I think the 
base library is in a
decent enough state right now.

I also think that the configure scripts etc in make and base are in a 
reasonable state for use
under windoze ... though I want to add some instructions for building 
native mingw stuff rather
than having to cross-compile from cygwin  - I'll add that this afternoon.
