http://projects.blender.org/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi/quelsolaar/?cvsroot=verse&sortby=date#dirlist
shows three files (p_sds_obj_tess.c, p_sds_obj_edge_normal.c and 
e_storage_head.c) changed 18 hours ago, which a bit less than 13 days.

Do you not see them?

I just checked, and my tree has only two local changes that are not checked
in (the render-to-texture disabling, and a debugging printf()). So, you
really should see the code ...

I've built it on Windows with success, and Slas said it worked better for
him, too.

Write back if you still don't see it, I guess I can ship you a Win32 binary
then.

Seems Marcus has revolved this?

Here, we have to wait further for Slas to convert the latest from -+ I
guess.
