Will a new Starr build help?

All,

I'm trying to develop in windows (building locker) and running into the process argument limits again (adding more files to library => I have to move my project closer and closer to root).   Is there anyway I can update the Starr files so it has the fix for this?  I can't build locker right now, as the argument sizes are too long for windows.  Also, was Sabbus/the ant tasks updated to make use of the argument fixes?

Scalacfork has a property "argfile" which you can use, but it doesn't create the
argfile itself when the command line is too long.
Starr is 6 days old and contains this fix. In case you add functionality to Scalacfork
(so that it creates the argfile itself), the Starr can be rebuilt using "ant newstarr".

I'm willing to make the fix on linux, however I can't build at all on windows currently (newstarr would be fun to try....) due to the bug.  It's a Catch 22.  Anyway, I'll just up my priorities for adding the "argfile" automatic support on windows for Ant + Maven.
