Hi!
We know that Pillar is not easy to use on Windows and we need to improve
that, but for now we have a lot of work to do with Pillar and not enough
time to do it.
Using MinGW is only a temporary solution.

I'll try to take a look at that one.
Can you send me a pillar file that raise this please ?

Same here, can you send me a file because I never saw this error with
@@note.

This one is normal. We changed the way extensions was generated because
the previous way wasn't right. When we export a .tex to a .pdf we don't
want to have a file .tex.pdf, so when we want to export a .pillar to a
.tex we don't want to get a .pillar.pdf!
So we changed that.

I do it but I use some script with MinGW for now or I use Pillar
directly from Pharo because the windows environment is not good for now.
