   The time from beta to release will depend on how long it takes to get
   a few remaining features done and all the known bugs out. 

Don't let the "beta" scare you -- it is actually a lot more stable than
the current go32-solution.  In addition, the libraries are a lot more
consistent.

Occationally there are a few projects that needs volunteers.  One
such is extension of the current "stub" to handle compressed binaries.
[Rather: creation of a variant by conditional defines.]  You would
need: (1) assembly knowledge, (2) the current V2-alpha stuff, (3) the
sources for gzip (inflate.c basically).  If you could bring yourself
into a position where the inflation code runs in 32-bit mode that part
should be pretty easy.

Unfortunately, even though DJ and pat have spawned off a subprocess
that runs in parallel (this is not quite evident from the picture
on http://www.delorie.com/, but anyway) V2 will not be able to do
so.
