I have successfully downloaded the files and looked at the source 
changes.  I did that on Linux, and am now downloading on Vista64.

I think I understand most of the changes, and will get back to you 
later if I have any questions.

BTW, where in the world are you (so I can undersand what timezone you 
are in)?
