Hi Roger,

Just a quick mail before I head to bed, I will try to take part in your
refactorings over the weekend hopefully. Sorry for not having commented
on any of your ideas before this.

Yep. I tagged it with "jawin_2_0_a1" as stated in the release notes:
http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=315102

Yes I aggree in that. And I have been wanting to mail you of my view of
the best way to change the marshalling in a (maybe) destructive way:
1) Since we increased the major number (1 -> 2), and we still haven't
released  a non-alpha in the 2.x series, I think that nobody can blame
us for messing with new functionality.
2) So I think your changes should go into HEAD. And since we have a tag
immediately before the changes, we can always make a branch at that if
anybody wants to work on the old marshalling (I assume this is what you
wanted too?)

And about the copy of jawin.rc.ori to jawin.rc: If I remember correctly,
this is something I introduced to include Win32 version information into
the Jawin.dll file (look at the properties for it in explorer, and you
will be able to see the build and version information for the exact
release). The copy of the jawin.rc.ori to jawin.rc is basically a
filtering copy where version information in it is replaced with version
information from global.properties (the same version information that
goes into the manifest file in the jar). I hope this doesn't give you to
much problems (I mostly build using the "ant -Dcpp.compile.enabled=true"
line, and seldom using the GUI, but your build-preferences may be
different).

Best Regards and good to see that you have found time and energy to work
on the much discussed marshalling.
Morten
