This is good news.  I am happy to hear that someone has been
working on better Windows support.

What compiler environment are you using to build PSPP under
Windows?  We have reports that Cygwin works well "out of the
box".  Other environments are probably more challenging.

Are you interested in trying to push your changes toward the CVS
tree, so that at least some of them could appear in the next
release?

I have a feeling that it would be easier to install a Bourne
compatible shell than to convert the test scripts.
