I have no problems with us creating a branch, and it would make it easy
for anyone to pull things down ... its also keeps all the histories
available centrally ...

Can I suggest a branch at v7.3, so that those working on the win32 have a
'stable branch' to base it off of, and then we can pull things up in v7.4
and -HEAD as they become available?
