Hello James,

Many many heart-felt thanks. I'd used gcc, CYGWIN, MingW etc. before, but to
get it all going just to get a later-than-released Windows build of
MEncoder... Whilst I still need to master dvdauthor and then start with the
actual editing... ;-)

Isn't a bit late for .ca to be awake still? Or is it early? ;-)

Kind regards,
Francois
