	I have it, but it was disabled because versions 4.54 and 4.61
crashed Irfanview, so I thought, WTF, not going through that again.

	4.73 (which comes in the 4.75 plugins pack) does work under
XP. Though Irfanview managed to pop up 4 windows telling me it can't
load the plugins options(in help). And then it loads them. Most
annoying. I'll carry on using Imagine.
