Ok I'm dowloading he source files. I don't think I will be ready to work 
before tomorrow because of my testing of the install procedure and as my 
connection is not as fast as thunder and as my daughters live on it a 
lot (ah msn messenger :-( )and as I have to download a complete cygwin 
distro ... So as soon as I'm ready and I lauch the configure, I report 
to you. How will I be able to get your patch ? Will you send me the 
files patched ?
