Yes use the CVS for now, it seems to work great, but... see below.

There are some issues with printing in MSW that I'd like to figure out
first. Basicly, it hangs and when you debug it in MSVC all you get for
a backtrace is a kernel32 and some ntdll calls that only show the
assembly, which is not too informative at all.

Any help would be great. Try it out for starters and let us know is
there's anything wrong or better yet give some patches for fixes/code
cleanup/additions whatever.
