Excellent news. 

A couple of little things:

I decided to test this out myself last night and, with great
reluctance, rebooted my laptop into Win2k, opened a browser, went to
your page and followed the 'compile your own' directions. The only
problem I encountered was in nardy.bat.

if NOT %MINGWDR%=="" goto IFEXIST

Win2k complained about a syntax error with the '=='. Making this line
a remark allowed everything to build (OK, I had other problems but
those were more me vs. Redmond. My girlfriend was getting worried
about the cursing and muttered threats of mayhem as I kept having to
reboot to install applications software).

I was planning to exactly what you did - copy a .gmo file all over the 
locale tree. Then I realised I had a problem getting the .gmo files
from any of my Unix file systems onto the Win2K one, so I went to bed.
