[PD] vista & win7 support ?

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

I'd like to get this stuff working on Windows 7 too, but I currently  
don't have access to a Windows 7 machine. Be sure to submit bug  
reports to the bug tracker, if you haven't already.  Also, if you can  
narrow down the crash to as small a patch as possible, that makes it  
much easier to fix the bug.  For example, if you can find the one  
object that causes the crash, or the action.

I can help people set up the Windows build environment on their own  
machine if they want to try their hand at fixing things.
