Thanks Keith. I've transferred the various files across to my linux box, but
I haven't yet found the energy to try the cross-compilation. For those of us
that have never tried it (especially those of us that don't use linux
regularly), it's a fairly daunting task.

Hopefully, in the next week or two, I'll find the confidence/energy to give
it a whirl.

In the meantime, my only advice is that, if you are thinking of switching to
Windows Vista ... DON'T !!

Apart from the problems in getting MSYS/MinGW to work, it seems that Vista
has been designed to provide frustration in just about every conceivable way
...

It's gotta be the biggest heap of shit I've ever come across. I'll persevere
with it because I've paid for it ... and because I figure it will get better
... and because I'm a nidiot ......

Cheers,
Rob
