  Not that i think that Windows code is what I would like to see on
one of my embedded platform or appliances ;-), but yes patches are welcome
(but please relative to a recent version, i.e. libxml1 patches won't help
me much).
I dislike compiler specific defines, but platform specific ones are okay
(seems there is common agreement to say that CE is not the same platform
as WIN32 :-). I also prefer changes encapsulated in header files like
win32config.h than scattered around the code.
