Bear with me John - I will grab a copy of the seamonkey code and see what I 
can discover from this end! 
Not sure why it installs under Vista - but I suspect that it is an exe file 
isn't it, rather than the source code. Attempting to build it under Windows 
from source would need gcc and other things which are not present in Windows 
by default although they can be installed and work well.

Will report back shortly!
