- identify some people with the problem and talk to them for: 1) get a
way to reproduce the error (a lot dificult, IIRC we try a few times i
fail to fail) or 2) get their support for test
- commit it for the first alpha release, or the just talked nigthly
stable builds...
- let the tests begin :)

so, apply it just before the alpha and if it not works remove it just
after the alpha...
last time i build a win32 binary (not whole package) for windows users
to test a patch they disappear very quickly...
