Hi Brian! Yes, I must admit that support for Windows has been very poor. There do seem to be quite a few projects in development at the moment that could solve this problem. Bill is playing around with one now, so I'm sure that he will pass comment soon!
I have setup a git repo on one of Bill's machines and it seems to be working well so far, so anyone who'd like to clone from there just give me a shout and we can send you the details. Dave.
