Basically that's what I noted too.  I am sort of working in the area but I
haven't even got everything working natively yet (since I started from a
non-windows installation and it's hard to figure out what needs to be put
in).  I would suggest that the best solution is to submit small packages at
regular intervals.

Sounds a good idea.  Presumably they are under the ole debug channel.  If it
gets ridiculous it might be worth adding a new debug channel.
