+1, mainly because the parser is a core part of PostGIS and getting this 
wrong will inconvenience a lot of people. Plus as yet, I've had no 
feedback on the shp2pgsql/pgsql2shp patches being tested on larger 
shapefiles...

My advice would be to go with the latest stable release, since in the 
early days of the Win32 installer I got bitten by this hard by packaging 
a particular SVN revision. Otherwise when people report bugs, you'll 
just get shrugged shoulders followed by a "make sure you upgade to the 
latest stable release" before people are willing to invest the time 
looking at the problem, and for good reason.


ATB,
