Thats what Justin was saying about this one, that it should be released
early due to win32 being complete.

I would expect, even once it compiles and runs (it doesn't yet) that it
will need some good testing before being released in any form. Platform
changes of this significance tend to introduce lots of new and
unexpected issues.

Tracking down several users for windows testing is a good idea. Rushing
it out in an unknown state to get the testing isn't such a good idea in
my mind.
