I have got the CVS tree from about 2 days ago compiling under Windows now,
and I have
a binary if anyone wants to try it, it appears to have a bug in that all
areas of the screen
are treated as solid/blocking, so the pingu's can't move anywhere - is this
specific
to windows, i.e. something I changed, or was it a problem with the tree when
I checked
it out?

Because of this I'm not going to give anyone the binary (noone want's a
non-working
program in binary form), but if anyone wants help compiling it under Windows
then just
ask. I made quite a few changes, and if anyone wants I will release copies
of the ClanLib
and Hermes include files and .lib's that I needed to build before building
Pingus, so you
don't need to download from lots of sites and compile/configure/rename them.

Once I find out about the current "niggle" in the program, and get that
fixed, I'll start
posting the patches that were required to compile on windows. A few
namespace differences
of opinion, a few #define/#undef's and a lot of work on the .dsw/.dsp
project files.
