I did not know that.

Eh.. I thought unstable means... unstable of course. And I tried both
versions on my friend's Intel Core 2 Quad processor running WindowsXP and
none of them ran, complaining of some missing DLL file. Hence I did not
compile the unstable version thinking that  I will get make problems on
Linux which I did get with stable version.

I tried the unstable version. It compiles and installs successfully
without any problem. I will report if I get any run-time errors.
