I tested it in Windows ME with the GTK 2.6 runtime and it runs, so now  
that issue is fixed...

I don't know if it was just the Windows ME system I tested it on, but  
it seems there is a problem with drawing updated text in Scintilla - it  
only paints text changes and selections when the whole widget needs  
repainting. I will try to look into this. It would be great if anyone  
with an old Windows ME/98/?95 system could see if they get this  
problem. Note that the GTK+ 2.6 runtime, not 2.8 is needed for these  
systems.

I also tested it on Windows 2000 and there it ran fine, no problem with  
Scintilla redrawing.

I did notice a general problem with Find in files though, I will  
disable it for a Windows build until we have a workaround for  
GIOChannel. Anyone running this SVN Windows build should avoid using  
Find in files - it will probably segfault.

I also noticed the global.tags file did not get loaded (the same for  
0.7) - probably just a simple path issue.
