Sorry about that. I should have given you and other people we know have not
caused trouble the ability to do so. We have a less-than-optimal solution in

doomed to the same spam problems we've had several times now.

Ordinarily I would grab these patches and apply them posthaste, but I'm not good
enough with the Windows makefile stuff to be sure I want to do that. I'll leave
it to our Windows expert.
