Re: Meld 1.7.2 released

1.  I generally do not backport changes from git master unless there's something very broken.  This way, when I say an installer is release ###, it matches what actually was released in ###.  Otherwise, it could get confusing for users reporting Meld bugs.  So you won't find this fix in the 1.7.2 installer, but you will find it in the latest git master installer (since Kai has added a fix to the master branch).
2.  Yes, PyGtkSourceView is included.
3.  I'm aware Patch is available to download.  I've just not looked into what it would take to include in the install yet.  It might be as simple as just dumping the binary in there, I just have to do some experimenting.  Thanks for the link on UAC, I'll keep that in mind.  I've not really used that feature of Meld, can you tell me what doesn't work with my install so I know what to look for in my testing?

Thanks Kai. I'll either stick with the 32-bit version (w/ Keegan's
installer), or just keep using meld-1.6.1 since it works great. Thanks for all
your hard work!

@Keegan
- did you grab the png icon for the version control?
- do you have pygtksourceview included in the installer?
- you can get gnu patch win32 binary from gnuwin here:

http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/patch.htm
it is a standalone binary

But unfortunately there is some conflict with UAC on >windows 7; see this:
http://math.nist.gov/oommf/software-patchsets/patch_on_Windows7.html

If you can get the line numbers, syntax highlighting and version control working with meld (any-version) then I will definitely switch to you installer and spread the word.
