Finally got around to fixing those Windows portability bugs. Also
hacked on the "dist" command a bit, and did some interesting stuff with
global options.
Here's the change log:
release 0.1.1:
* fixed 'mkpath()' function so it should work under DOS/Windows
* changes to how we link C code:
- under Unix, object files precede -l options on link command line
- libraries now can have a directory component, which forces
the library to be searched for in only that directory
* added --force and --quiet global options
* made global options (--verbose, --dry-run, and now --force and
--quiet too) valid at each command as well as for the whole
distribution
* 'dist' command now works on Unices other than Linux; generates
tar, tar.Z, tar.gz, and ZIP files. Still Unix-dependent though.
RTFS, or the CVS logs, for details.
Oh yeah: download it from

Enjoy!
