If stuff in wip-port is general enough, let's make it. > For win32 my current scheme is to just throw out all the configure and > automake stuff and have a static makefile, so the build procedure is 'cd > win32; make'. Do you think that's acceptable? I think that's a fine, certainly as a place to start.
