1. We asked for $, we got it, and now we can't use it?
2. I decided to use $, because I don't expect Win4Eu to be released
very soon, and by the time it will be released, Eu 2.5 will probably
also be released (or at least in beta). Besides, it's also to stimulate
people to use 2.5, because I think that 2.5 has some nice potential.
Although it doesn't have many new visible features yet, the whole underlying
architecture has changed. Maybe it's a bit slow right now, but it's also
a first alpha version. And Robert reported that the version he's working on
is already a lot faster.
