There will be problems left, see e.g. #9167 for further problems with ECL, #13350 and #13351 for other simple fixes, and #13354 for further autotools fixes.
I've not touched my installation for a few months so I don't really feel to package anything now. Hopefully I'll have more time before the end of the year, and with some help from reviewers the situation should get much better. And reports from XP would be really nice as I only test on 7.
