OK.

I've got a busy week, but I can probably make some time tomorrow and Friday for Windows work. I'll try committing the Gnome changes to defaults.sh and see if it chokes the Windows nightly, then do the Gwen and AQB changes. IF we're really lucky, everything will work and we can tag the release on Saturday.

Whenever we do, I guess we should tag the 2.5.0 release as well, right?
