Err... It seems that some changes has been made since mrproject... =)

Now only thing that makes a little trouble is that in Windows you have 
to explicitly link all referenced variables in shared libraries.

There is many references to libplanner-1 in xml, xls and storage 
libraries. I had to add manually linking to libplanner-1 and compile 
libplanner-1 library before all other (xml, xls and so on)

Now I have compiled whole thing I can't get it run, some problems in my 
Gnome2 environment. But I'll get back when I have resolved these problems...
