Which means that (b) might get done and (d) probably wont get done for the
foreseeable future. Since I think windows printing would be useful, and I
know what a can of worms windows printing is, I am still leaning toward (b),
at least until (d) can gather momentum.

I really don't have the time...
What's involved in compiling on WinNT?
