     GNOME version: ---


I've ported shmsink and shmsrc to Windows. I've used the simplest method
possible, just #ifdef'ing code to swap out Unix sockets for TCP sockets, and to
use Windows shared memory functions CreateFileMapping/MapViewOfFile instead of
shm_open/mmap. Permissions are much trickier on Windows, so I've opted to
#ifdef that property out. I'll attach a patch as soon as I get release
approval, but before then I'd like to know if my method is acceptable.
