I think you would open a lot of doors to a lot more developers if you 
could provide a mingw kit so dia could be compiled on Windows without 
needing Microsoft tools.

Also, Windows/Mac developers are much more comfortable with Subversion 
than CVS because TortoiseSVN makes life so easy. No command lines to 
remember. Once you use a gui for the repository you never look back.

BTW thanks for trying to help me get Dia compiling in MinGW a month or 
so ago. I nearly got there but had to give up because it was too hard 
and my hair was falling out.

Regards

Mike
