More testing discovered a few more problems which have now been fixed 
and checked in to the source repository on sourceforge:

<http://gwsmhg.hg.sourceforge.net/hgweb/gwsmhg/>

If you check out the latest version it should work on Windows.  It does 
for me on my XP laptop.  But testing has not been exhaustive so there 
could still be problems and feedback is welcome.  If you see any error 
messages on the console that you run gwsmhg from I'd like to see them.

Thanks
