Hi all.

What is the simplest way to get 1.9 sources? I’ve already downloaded  
binaries, but they was compiled with old versions of visual c++ (so I  
can’t  
compile my extensions with my visual c++ 7.1).

I have no CVS client and I don’t very happy to download/install it for  
only  
single download. If somebody can point me URL where 1.9 sources tarball  
can  
be given (or send me such tarball by e-mail), I would very grateful.

Thanks.

Victor.
