Greg Hazel has started working on making beanstalkd compatible with Windows.

http://github.com/ghazel/beanstalkd/commit/086fafaf18845f6066be2565f62c63e7207cf31e

This is a worthwhile goal, and I am grateful for this work, but I'm
worried I won't be able to maintain compatibility in the future, since
I have no windows machines to test on and we don't have buildbots or
anything like that to tell me when I've broken the windows build.
(It's hard enough maintaining Mac OS, FreeBSD, and Solaris
compatibility. I usually only check on those platforms right before a
release, and I often miss things.) So that makes me reluctant to
accept these patches.

Any opinions or suggestions on this? Are there good tools (online or
otherwise) I should know about that would automate some of this? Any
volunteers to test commits soon after they are pushed and tell me when
I've made a mess in windows-land (and, ideally, to clean up those
windows-messes)?

Actually, these questions go for all OSes. I welcome anything to make
maintaining cross-platform compatibility easier and more reliable.
