What sort of errors? link errors? PLATFORM(QT) can compile on  
windows, so
if PLATFORM(WININET) PLATFORM(CAIRO) fails it implies there is either  
some
code making incorrect assumptions about the PLATFORM, missing file  
guards,
or more likely, unimplemented PLATFORM functionality.

I think you'd be safe anywhere between 2pm and 10pm PST, although that's
only an educated guess based on my recollection of when GTK, QT, and  
Apple
folk are around.
