That's cool :). Do you have any idea though when? Are you working on the native Windows GDC build?

I'm working in parallell with Adam Ruppe on it. Iain has a patch that we're looking at. Time wise, maybe a couple of weeks? A month?

We technically have native gdc for Windows already, but we want it everything to "just work" TM.

That's awesome. It's better to have everything to "just work" than doing an early release.

Yeah, we will post smth when we're ready. We will try to also get it into mingw.
