Thank you a lot!! :)

Both commited!, again, thanks a lot, I personally don't have much
experience with different systems than linux, so this is really
appreciated.

Hmms, I'm not too sure about this one, Duilio do you have more
experience with this ?

Ai, my experience with auto* is very bad, Do you know a possible 
solution for this ?

This is known, and mostly fixed in CVS! :)

Hmms, I've got to look into this...

Yep known, this comes from the VisBin eventually, which is pure
suckage, 
I've simply done VisBin wrong, design and impl wise, and we're going
to redo it completely from scratch after all the stuff it will depend
on is implemented.

Again, VisBin is broken :) will be fixed.

I've seen this, I will look into that as well.

I think we can nail most of it for atleast the next release by
ourself, but nonetheless thank you! :)
