Ah, perhaps my time is better spent elsewhere :)

No need to apologize!

My Linux system is currently in bad shape, maybe I should spend some
time getting LILO back in order. It is also slower than my Windows
system, although it is a dual processor (does autopano-sift take
advantage of SMP?). Besides, Hugin runs better on Linux, maybe I can
do autopano-sift and examine control points on Linux and then transfer
over to the faster Windows system to do the optimization, output files
and enblend. I start on the next pano while the first is finishing! :)

I also spent an hour getting started with coLinux, a port of the Linux
kernel to the win32 api. Maybe thats a better route for running
autopano-sift on Windows :)
