Landry, I didn't want to bother you. I got the 1.7.2 working standalone for ages but I don't know if it would be impolite to ask. Anyway I learnt how to do something new :)
I was working on 1.7.2 package as I have used it for months. I have some feedback, but let me redo workspace for 1.7.3 and send the diff back to you.
