Yes, I think we're about ready. There are a couple of warnings I am getting
when compiling under Win32 that we could do with getting rid of, but I'm
struggling for time at the moment :(  The main one is the use of the typedef
byte in the wkt parser since under MingW, byte is already defined by one of
the header files, plus there's also a warning about min/max being redefined
(these are again already defined under Win32 - 0.9 branch copes with this by
#ifdef...#endif the min/max definitions under Win32).

I haven't had a chance to check a recent build, but if the resulting file is
editable by hand then I don't see any problems with it.


Kind regards,

Mark.
