By the way, this is not to push anyone to do this too quickly, but to suggest that we chip away at this as we move towards a loosely agreed time frame.
If any platform wants/needs to release stuff before then, it can possibly be 0.46-x, like the Mac releases.
Perhaps the logical place to start would be the Windows patches, since they've been so much the focus of late already.
So the task would be for each patch to review them with an eye towards how necessary and safe they are for other platforms. Windows-specific patches which are completely #ifdef WIN32'd are going to be safe, and while obviously not *necessary* on other platforms would at least be harmless, so I guess as long as they're well marked and documented should be ok. Patches which have changes that are also applicable for other platforms are probably good but will need ample review and testing. In each case, itemize and document it as I described in my previous post, then apply to the 0.46.x tree.
