I've enjoyed the challenge.  It's been a project that I wanted to persue
for a while, it's kept me busy and helps the community.

I'm sure there will be issues migrating away for the PDK, I've never
used it so will likely need help to create similiar with the new tools.

Perhaps a forum poll would help to decide.  I'm not a daily windows user
and can't remember the last time I used those tools.
When I run LMS for windows it's from git in a minimized command prompt.

I wasn't aware of PAR-Packer.  Strawberry Perl apparently supports it. 
I'll take a look.

Thanks for your help with the problem of the different errno code
between the perl versions.  It's fixed now it git and I've removed my
comment from the first post.
