Re: Win32 glyphBox implementation

Thanks for the pointers Jordi, I got math rending working on win32 (with
fscked glyphboxes)!

Afaik, TF has created a properly working patch using this approach. I'm
waiting for the patch to arrive to replace my b0rked one (I'm no win32
hacker in any kind of way to create a 100% proper patch).

I need to clean up some patches with regard to config file paths in
gtkmathview, but nothing too serious. I hope to send Luca the remaining
patches soon.

Thanks go to TF, FJF, Luca and Jordi for helping me. Rock.
