How hard would it be for you to try this with the latest version of Pd from git on Windows?

Miller merged a fix from IOhannes a while ago to do with Windows default search paths which might help this issue.
After several dead-ends (autotools: is that supposed to work also on Windows?), I managed to compile Pd on Windows XP (what an adventure..). For the record:
* mv pure-data pd * get / extract ASIO SDK to pd/asio * mkdir pd/bin * cd src; mingw32-make -f makefile.mingw
But it seems, I still cannot run Pd-vanilla on my Windows XP installations (VirtualBox and Hardware). Probably are both originating from the same medium.
Because IOhannes provided a fix, I then was also able to successfully cross-compile on Linux _with autotools_:
./configure --host i686-w64-mingw32 --prefix /opt/pd_win32/
So I used this build to test in wine, but I wasn't successful. When downloading freeverb with deken, Pd freezes just when the download has finished. wine then prints this to console:

(I hope it isn't saying anything indecent I don't understand)
I'll have to test tomorrow, when I have access to a Windows 7 box.
