Sounds interesting.  I'll have a look at it.
     
     However threading seems like something that could be done after the
     0.4.2 release. 

Definitely.

     What needs to happen before 0.4.2 is released BTW?

Ben is the maintainer, so ultimately, that decision is his.  However,
based upon previous discussions, my understanding is:

* Get the gui working at least to a stage where it's reasonably
  reliable and demonstrates feasibility.

* As a prerequisite to this, Ben's working on a largish change to the
  way pspp stores its data internally.

* Fix the  bugs noted in the bug tracker, which are noted for the next
  release. 

* Now that you've demonstrated that a w32 port is feasible, presumably
  we'll be doing that too.
