    removing it from the build tree, but it still remains in CVS right?

    seeing as it is now totally unmaintained win32 software
    maybe the Abisource people would consider changing the license to
    something like LGPL or even zlib/png (BSDstyle) to encourage anyone who
    might actually be interested to use the code (there might parts of
    interset to the Nullsoft developers).
    [is Paul Rohr still reading...]

    Just another random thought and me expounding my belief that out of date
    GPL software should lapse into public domain at some point (Copyright, 70
    years plus the life of the author, can you imagine code being of
    any value even historical value after that long)

    rambling
