Thanks Barton will take you up on it....just need to pull myself out of what 
I'm doing now. Hopefully soon I'll test to see if my patches work against the 
current tree and post em to the list.

Yup I agree - writing a wiki would be great. I have my notes on everything 
I've done to get XCB to compile under windows and all the other libs 
(pthreads et al) that I had to get working too. I used all the programs in 
the tutorial to test my port against so I think we can put that upto. I'll 
work on this. Should I put this up at xcb.freedesktop.org or the wikipedia 
reference to XCB?

Bye for now
