the CVS HEAD works great on windows, you get a working terminal with -stderr and best of all theres no "hold your pinky down on control and shift at the same time then contort your hand to the left so that another finger can reach a 3rd key" shortcuts that plagued 0.38...

a few things still dont make it to the terminal, that would have on been shown on linux, like stderr from the gui maybe (if you use tkcon, or 'console show' you get most errors, but a few are lost somewhere...)
