ATM W source in a lot of flux (source has changed a _lot_ since
W1R2 (graph functions are ordered completely differently and there's
are huge changes in the window managing. The library has also
been reordered). So before doing any radical changes to W(R2), you
might want to wait until W1R3 gets a bit more complete (ie. changes
fully incorporated to other server sources :-). Or you could ask
for the latest developement sources...

I compile W with GCC 2.3.3 because of space limitations. For
you I would recommend either (mint) GCC 2.5.8 or the one that
comes with the Knarf's German MiNT Distrib Kit.
