Alright, cool. I pulled it here and things build fine on Linux. 
Showcase and string examples work nicely.

Ok, developing on Win is not the nicest right now. I use Qt and 
it seems like the best option (change to msvc when needed...like 
to change the Debug/Release build types because the command line 
and Qt don't seem persistent).

Ok, I might try to build again here and see how it goes.

P.S. I HATE THIS FORUM EDITOR----please add a preview button, 
whoever takes care of this!?!? I take notes in a different editor 
and then paste here and it looks fine, only to end up mangled 
when actually submitted...ugh!!!!  :)
