More on windows building

[ewx]

I now have:

• A Mingw install on one of my Linux boxes
• A win32 .a of PCRE, which is one of the dependencies of my backup program
• Eliminated the gcrypt dependency by dropping the SHA-1 implementation from the RFC in
• Installed the free VC++ on my Windows box

Installing the PSDK's a bit steam-driven, isn't it? (I'm not sure whether I actually need it or not but I decided to just install everything.)

So all I have to do now is provide windows-friendly alternatives to all the POSIX-specific bits.

It looks like .NET is the one true way, and as an afterthought they've given instructions to make win32 development possible.
