Yes, true.  My concern was that the status of the tool seems a bit 
confusing, but I guess a different location wouldn't help.

Is there a location for builds that correspond to the code in CVS?

I got my version of the tool from the ecoscentric website.

Just recently, I noticed the Xylanta versions which appear to be more 
recent, but I take it that their changes are not in the CVS tree.  They 
have build as well as patches available on their site.

Perhaps over xmas I could work on upgrading it to the wxWidgets v2.8.6 
and one of the better MS compilers.  I believe it currently compiles 
with VC6 which is very non-compliant.  It would be good if the source 
could compile on GCC or VC7.1+.
