It seams as though the win32 port is driving the release schedule, so 
instead of picking June 1 out of the air, how about getting an estimated 
time for completion from them, or more specifically a date by which they 
should have all the major features done?

I know it's a chicken and egg problem, do we set a date for developers 
to shoot for, or do shoot for specific features and choose a date from 
there.  I think there can no hard and fast rule on this, it depends on 
the feature and the desire to put it in place.
