Thanks.  I saw that, but I'm already knee deep in compiling packages for
SuSE and I don't really want to go down the road of compiling the Windows
front end at the same time.  If there was an active, pre-compiled package to
work with, that would be great but at the moment, I need to finish the build
on SuSE before I could spend time on a Windows build, even if it is
scripted.  I guess it's just personal preference.
