That's good news.

I actually did download the latest version with the intention of
investigating the feasibility for a Windows port. There's one little
change that I'd like to request immediately. You have a directory called
"aux". For legacy reasons (MSDOS wasn't smart enough to invent /dev),
this is a reserved word in the Windows file system. Consequently, the
file won't even unzip there.
