I built a BiDi build on win32 and it seemed to work reasonably
well. I got it to crash however opening a complex document with
multiple sections. However could not get it to crash when using
sections in a new document. Pretty impressive actually(well for
someone whos never dealt with BiDi before).

Cheers,
Tim
