> I have tested it on wine 0.9.30

Hmmm, good idea! :) Wine can give additional information, but itself still is 
very beta...

Yes, this is famous problem. :) I'll try to make something, but I'm not a 
C++/Gtk programmer. Looks like some information about that can be found at:

Hmm┘ Really don▓t understand it. Why need possibility of manual relocation 
installed Synfig? However, didn▓t zero command line parameter contain full path 
and application name?

About wine errors. May be its just wine problem? Or we have target to support 
wine/reactos? ;-) 

About binary patches.
> Interesting, how do you plan to do this? Using nsis' VPatch or something?

Actually I▓m still not choosing. I want to test several free/opensource tools 
and choose one of them.

> Do you plan on being the synfig Win32 maintainer for very long?

I▓m planning to use Synfig, so I have planned to support win32 builds for at 
least year.

> Also: are you subscribed to this list (synfig-devl)? 

Yes, both of them. synfig-devel and synfig-user.

Comments for patches:

Extension for .desktop file.
> Is there any reason to add this?

It▓s not a big reason, but many another .desktop files, which I see √ has it. 
Another reason is example of freedesktop.org specification, which has icon with 
an extension:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/1.0/apa.html

png2ico.
> My tests in a plain Win32 cmd.exe window show that png2ico works no matter
where you put it, maybe the copying isn't necessary?

Confirm. When anybody call it from win32 *cmd.exe* √ all work perfectly. But 
not from mingw msys bash. So, copying is necessary.

> Committed a slightly improved version (allows you to build any .sif file into 
> an .ico) of the patch in SVN r236.

Yep, it's look nice. But it does not work. :) Without ⌠\■ symbol at end of 
line, variable p2i value is lost, so the tool does not copied. But newer mind. 
I make another simplification and now we don▓t need a temporary variable any 
more. I▓ll send patch right now.

P.S. svn:240 is ready.

Atrus.
