Then it is the current SVN as of 2012-02-19. Namely r2679. Which
sounds correct because there were several commits on the 21st and I
later had to rebuild for a re-release of Xiphos. I don't know if that
version has been sent into the wild since then. Building a new zip
file of the release is pretty straightforward, so I'll whip that
together tonight for you.

That is neither my area of expertise nor my question. :)

Maybe you should just start using Mac, since it's the best of both worlds. :)
