Thanks - works fine.

I'll skip smpeg for now.

Is that Cygwin-specific ?
I was mainly just curious to see how it all went on (32-bit and 64-bit) 
native Win32, but it seems I have to install Alien::SDL (and its dependency 
chain) anyway .... which is rather annoying.

Is there some simple way to remove the Alien::SDL dependency and use the 
libs I've already built ? No matter if there's not ... I'll just put it on 
hold until I'm in a more relaxed and tolerant mood :-)

Thanks for the patch and the info!

Cheers,
Rob
