Yeah, I found that discussion a while ago, am a bit frustrated that nothing seems to be done about it.
Lots of things are being done about it, but they're not done yet. Wheres your contribution?
Not much, I admit, so maybe I'll just update the wiki to let people know how to work around it (in Windows, anyway). I'd happily fix it myself, but after reading the whole discussion on github about it, I'm pretty sure that I don't have the technical know how to do it. And I'd rather just let it continue to be an issue than submit a patch that just makes things worse.
So thanks for your work on it, I appreciate it.
