Hi all-

As someone who routinely finds modules
that sound great but the fine print ends up
being something like "win32 users, don't bother"
I vote for at least a work around for the specific
issue for the release.

Waiting for an upstream fix for a module you
don't control can be unpredictable.  In this case,
what about requiring the non-broken version for
this release?  It could be made conditional on
the platform if needed or desired.

Regards,
Chris
