I speak only for myself ...
I personally have thoughtfully cared for the Windows support in
AOLserver -- once upon a time, I had built the Windows binaries that
some folks were using. Through discussions I had with Jim Davidson, the
new build mechanism for AOLserver 4.5.x was meant to make building
AOLserver on Windows easier than it had been in the past.
I suspect that any recent changes to AOLserver which cause it to no
longer build cleanly on Windows is likely an act of ignorance (i.e., not
knowing what will or won't work on Windows) than an act of malice (i.e.,
not caring about Windows). My guess is that the folks who contribute
changes do not have the means to test their changes on a Windows platform.
It would be fantastic if the people who use AOLserver on Windows could
port the changes such that they also work on Windows, either by
replacing changes with more portable code, or providing the necessary
platform-specific implementation surrounded by #ifdef __WIN32__ as
needed, etc.

Any opinion?
