Hi
Nice to see that someone is interested in this Sorry for late response as i don't have much time now (ass you can see by the last commit date ).
I don't have a clue why there was any compilation error as i tested it on my linux box, puddimpop's code is little bit ugly and without real testing it is hard to make this work like a charm
I have gcc 4.4.5 and 4.5.3.
Inform me about windows testing
When i get some time i will update  repo to include your patch
