I truly wish I could help, but I am not a source-code programmer and have never
compiled a Windows app of any kind. But if you can get this to work correctly--
with the possible help of other users here who are more technically astute than
me-- it opens up the (later) possibility of fixing some of the code flaws that
currently exist in the 'official' v3.8.0 beta 1 and 2 compiled binaries.

The current 'official' Windows binaries by 'clipka' (Christoph Lipka) are the
latest ones we have, but they are several years old, with some code that was
'backtracked' to earlier versions for one reason or another...which reverted
some of the features to earlier flawed operation.

It would be great to have another Windows binary developer who could incorporate
some of the suggestions/fixes that have been mentioned in the newsgroups over
the past year, by myself and others (especially William Pokorny with his 'povr'
branch). Then 3.8 for Windows could finally be brought 'up to speed'!

Good luck with your efforts!
