Thanks for the libffi info. I did go looking for it and I cannot imagine how I 
overlooked such an obvious method of fetching it. Ah well.

I grabbed a copy of the 1041 revision and eventually tracked down your fix for 
the QT DateChooser problem. I am glad I don't have to use the v3 development 
series. I can easily copy the rebuilt gb.qt library to the other 2008.0 
machines and it isn't too much trouble to rebuild it one more time for the 
two 2007.0 installations.

You said I should "checkout the /branches/2.0 part of the svn tree to get the 
2.0 development version". I am not sure how to find that, but I'll have a 
proper look tomorrow evening. Do I take it that your fix for the DrawingArea 
control is there too now?
