There have indeed been some API features added in service packs.  
However, these service packs don't tend to be included in the 
headers.  Rather, I think they just go in as being in the next major 
Windows version up.

The web interface (with my being away from my usual workstation) is 
playing up so I can't download the attachment at the mo.  But I'll 
have a look as soon as I can.

I thought about that a while ago.  However, I can't really do it 
simply because I haven't been able to get SVN to work on my Mac.  It 
appears to be a problem with my Internet connection - the error is 
400 Bad Request IIRC.  I've tried to find a solution but had no luck.  
The only SVN repository I've found that works for me is the backup of 
DStress.
