Well, I can contribute my .sln and .vcproj files. And I volunteer to
maintain them if they are committed into the project CVS. (and no, I
am no interested in cygwin/mingw/libtool/autoconf stuff, even though I
use them when I have to. I prefer building my stuff via a VC++
solution with a tree of projects and files)

There are a few minor issues though - linux-specific headers,
windows-specific types etc - all those eternal cross-compilation and
pre-processor issues. Ie a decent solution would require, say, a win32
header, a few global #defines and a few minor changes in the
cross-platform code.

So, Carl, are you interested in a patch?

Best regards,
Oleg.
