I've just tried committing again.  And it seems it's generally managing to send one or two 
files and then failing on the next.  (Though admittedly, I didn't think I had *that* many 
pending updates!  They seem to be mostly small tweaks.)

And since the design of SVN is such that commits are atomic, this causes the whole commit 
to fail.  So I guess I'll have to try committing just a few at a time and see if that 
works.  Still, if you can get it working more reliably it would be most helpful.

We would need to make sure people know that the bindings project is finally being moved 
across.  I suppose that we would migrate the wiki pages across at the same time as we do 
this, and replace them on dsource with a notice telling people where to find it.

Yes, a set of bindings to eventually put into Phobos/druntime was the aim of the 
WindowsAPI project from the beginning.  But unfortunately, progress has been slow.
