[libnice] Compiling on Windows

[Youness Alaoui]

Hi,

Thanks Emanuelle for handling that question.
Someone tried to compile libnice on windows a few months ago and found a
few issues (similar to yours if i remember correctly) and we helped him
over IRC, he said he'd send us patches once it's working, but I haven't
seen him since. Libnice is still maintained but we're mostly working on
Linux, we hope the community will send us patches for win32 support.
Historically if you look at the commit log, the win32 related commits were
contributions from users of the library. I just don't have much experience
compiling on Windows, sorry.
Emanuele, about your TURN issues, can you try the latest git master,
there's a couple of commits related to TURN that were commited in the past
few days, maybe it helps.

Thanks,
Youness.
