That's not the way it works Barry.  Trunk is trunk.  This wa compiled - and
compiles fine - on Mac and Ubuntu, the two OSes I have available.  There is
no expectation that a commit build on any platform.  If a commit breaks one
of the platforms, we try and get it fixed.

But, just as our OpenGL sucks from lack of those skills, so too does our
Windows builds, as we do not have active developers on Windows.  Alex - and
others - do their best to keep the Windows builds going, and your input
definitely helps in that regard (and other areas actually).  The reality is
this is the state we are in, and the resources we have.

So we will go our best to get the Windows build fixed, but, we will not
reoll that commit back in the meantime.
