I hope you enjoyed your break and had a happy new year, too.

Here are some features I had been working on which
could be integrated in 0.13:

- eepro100 fixes (high priority because needed by many users)
- tcg interpreter (medium priority because it extends the range
  of supported hosts)
- installer for windows (I'm afraid that windows priority is low
  because nobody loves it very much)

The code for these features is available here:
