Right; when the 0.9.3 source code was released, we forgot to place a CVS
tag on the source. Thus, to build the win32 binaries, I couldn't just
check out the CVS tag. So, I picked a date that was a little after
0.9.3, yet had some bug fixes in it. In retrospect, this was probably
the wrong thing to do.

Here's what I'll do; I'll try to better match the 0.9.3 source code by
checking out the CVS tree from March 30, and release a new win32 binary
package.

I'll also build a "latest CVS" win32 package, in case some are
interested.
