THANKS! Looks like it is *exactly* what I need :) I thought that Steve
only maintained the Cream version, so I didn't even look at it.

I was tempted to build my own version, as I do on Ubuntu, but setting
up a building environment in Windows is much more time-consuming than
doing the same in Ubuntu (where "time" is almost-zero). It is just not
worth the pain, and the precompiled version will work for me, I'm
sure.

Thanks a lot, Tony, you saved me a ton of time :)
