Great! Please send me the patches, and I will check them in. Could you also
please include a description of exactly what lib files you included in the
project, and what build settings you used?

You mean just double-clicking the app didn't work?

and the -L option to find the files,

This sounds like the library path problem, which was fixed a few weeks ago.
Did you check out the sources recently?

I checked in a fix for the Windows check mark problem on October 19. If you
use the current CVS sources it should work.
