even though i have already mentioned it in my emails regarding the w32, 
i would like to ask you what you all think of doing a 0.91 release of 
Gem within the next weeks.

for me, the main reason to not release was, that there were no recent 
binaries for w32, and i have been unable to produce them for a while (i 
just gave up after 3 fruitless days several times). for whatever reasons 
i have been able to produce binaries, so we should use the opportunity:-)


so far, nobody has yet complained about the w32 binaries i posted, so 
they seem to run stable.

remaining issues are:
- OSX: marius' reports of flickering (could you be a bit more specific 
as to what "flickering" means exactly?)
- linux: crashes on window-close with intel-based gfxcards
- linux: lqt backend of [pix_record] still crashes sometimes (i really 
suspect that it is lqt not fullfilling what it promises in the 
API-documentation)

we probably could just release now (with these issues), and put out 
bugfix-releases once these issues are solved.
