aha - you've got the wrong guy ;) ...well sorta.

The devkit on the website is (from memory) quite a struggle to get to work
- and (again from a distant memory) you need a tackle the cygwin
"installer" (<shudders at the thought>)

The devkit was originally made by "roland", he and I started working on the
new one, but life took him elsewhere and the last remaining trouble has not
been "fixed properly" ...I just addded a work-around - hence the new
all-in-one-magic-four-click-install-rockbox-devkit has kind of ended up in
limbo.

That said, if you want the web site updated neither roland nor myself can
help, I guess anybody here with an "_at_haxx.se" email address would be the
right person to talk to? :)

If you want the "new" windows devkit (complete with win98 buglet/annoyance)
just ask :)
If anyone wants to donate some web-space... even better still, I've emailed
out about 6 of them in the last few days and got glowing reports of success
back fom everybody (thanks guys (you know who you are))
