Re: How close are we to 0.16.4?

I agree that the HOWTO would be nice to have.   But, for Windows
documentation, it's a "must", since the man pages don't help Windows
users.

Thanks for volunteering, but... didn't you say that you're not very
familiar with Windows?

At any rate, I have a lot of the Windows docs already written (was up til
4am again last night...) so I'll just do the windows part for now.

If you like, you can add my work into your HOWTO when it's done.  (After
all, we're both using DocBook, so it should be easy to combine them)
