At least the use of common components would've been nice. 
TortoiseOverlays is a good start. The rest might differ depending on the 
native language for the vc-tool itself (i.e. hg-users prefer gui with 
good python bindings, which probably isn't so important for svn. :)

I think the future looks brighter now that the installer build is 
getting automated. It makes it easier to "just release" stuff.

Also, it makes it possible to try with 64-bit releases, which is getting 
a bit pressing. (I just don't know how to build GTK and all for 64-bit, 
otherwise it'd been fun to much about with it. :)

Cheers,
