That would certainly be fine with me. The main reason that I
currently favour wh-sandbox is that Waldek recently "backported"
a selection of revisions from build-improvements to wh-sandbox.
But I am not completely certain of the status of all potential
revisions that we might want to include in a new "Silver". Of
course I am especially concerned about the ability to build on
Windows but I haven't tested this yet.

>From my point of view, the creation of a new "Silver" trunk is
a little overdue. Unfortunately only you and Waldek are really
in a good position to do this. But with your direction I am
certainly willing to help - especially in testing of the new
release.
