Stable Build for Win2000?

Hello SourceNavigator people,

I am working on an old 500.000 lines C++ project in Visual C++, and
experienced serious limitations in VC++ 6.0's builtin source browsing
capabilities.  I discovered your free product and tried to use it as an
alternative (under Win2000, SP1), but the application crashes from time to
time, mostly when I try to browse through the core file, which is avg.
50.000 lines of code.

In trying to get a more stable system, I tried to rebuild the
SourceNavigator from the source code.  I didn't find an easy way to do it in
VC++, but could ./configure it under cygwin, Cygnus' port of GNU utilities
to Win32.  The configuration worked there, but the compilation failed at
what seems to be some cygwin-specific details I couldn't figure out (some
header files in the mingw32 include dir were incompatible, I think).

So, what I want to ask to you is, how do I compile SN4.5.2 under Win2000
(preferably under VC++), or do you have a more recent, more stable version
for me than the 4.5.2 version on your FTP-site?

greetings, Geert Pante.
