but I suppose that (for instance) the lists dialog is
build from scratch, and I'm seeing english messages
there
Maybe it's my fault (the OS is in spanish, but msvc is
an english version, if it makes a difference...)

I've only done a timid aproach. I've downloaded the
beast (ActiveState perl), and tried to compile it, but
I'm using win98, and it seems that you need the
command line of win nt (which it's more unix like) to
compile it.
I've tried with 4dos, and it has compiled a big part
of it (at least it has compiled DynaLoader, and that's
all that I need (I think)).
But right now I'm doing an UT_Set with O(log(n)) for
search, insertion & delete operations (backed by a
red-black tree).
When it will be finished (I have search & insertion,
and I'm doing delete right now) I will use it to fix
the bug about "saving images that are no more in use".
It will be cool to use it in the 0.9.x series to back
the pf_Fragments (that way we can change the O(n) of
insertions by O(log(n)) ).
Cheers,
P.S.: btw, it's only me, or is the profiler of msvc
even worse than gprof?
