By official you mean, me supporting them if some bug is
reported? If this is the case, you can consider them
"supported". As for enabling them by default in the
makefiles, I don't think this is a good idea because it
doesn't make sense on Windows. Unix people know to look for
it and make it work. :) As for documenting them, I may add 
something to he webpage but I doubt the occasional message 
to the list will stop (we get about one per year).

What do you think?

Kind regards,
Diego
