Sure no problem - thanks for an awesome open source visualisation system! :-)

The original problem has been fixed, and it builds just fine.  Thanks!

A minor nit, but I notice that on line 315 of CMakeLists.txt 1.159, it
is checking the registry for a v2.3 of python, but there is no
corresponding python2.3 in the list of executables to search
for. (Same with 2.0 as it happens.)

There is another problem with building the Python bindings, but I will
investigate further and post a separate message with full details.

Thanks - regards,
