Also, I'd like to update (or others with a wiki account can do it 
themselves) this Wiki page:
http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Building_Scribus_on_Windows
I've already added Craig's note to the page, and want to try to add as 
much specific information as I can to help those who want to build on Win32.

Send corrections or additions to the List or me dircctly.
Thanks.
