The status of this project is Arjen and I have gone through a number
of iterations of code changes on my part and tests on his part, and
Arjen still needs to test my latest fix which makes the Windows
variant virtually identical to the POSIX variant of this code.
Thus, given that the POSIX version gives good results on Linux there
is a reasonable chance that we are done at this point with the code
fixes, but we won't know until Arjen tests the current code.
Obviously I forgot to look at incoming e-mail before sending the above.
I am now very happy to say that Arjen has now had good success
with a simple test of that updated code on MinGW-w64/MSYS2. Congratulations,
Arjen for that nice breakthrough! That good result removes quite a bit of
the uncertainty in the timing of our next release.
