Attachment: AVRO-1015.patch
This patch enables building on native Windows (without Cygwin). Please see the
MainPage.dox for details.
Tested that it works on Ubuntu, RHEL 4.7, RHEL 5.4 and Cygwin as well.

> At present, Avro C++ builds on Cygwin but does not build natively for Windows
> using Visual Studio. The main stumbling block has been integration with Flex
> and Bison. Now that AVRO-956 removed dependence on Flex and Bison, we should
> start supporting Visual Studio Builds. A few issues need to be addressed,
> which the forthcoming patch take care of:
> - signed to unsigned conversion and vice-versa should be explicit. Otherwise
> the compiler generates warnings.
> - Floating point literals unless suffixed with f are considered double. The
> compiler warns about loss of precision, even though the actual values don't
> really need double.
> - Taking &v[0] to obtain the pointer to the underlying array in a vector
> fails in debug mode if the size of the vector is 0. Similar thing happens for
> strings as well.
> - If a function or a class is exposed outside a DLL, __dllexport should be
> specified similarly if they are used outside the DLL, __dllimport should be
> specified.
> - min and max are both functions in Standard C++ library and macros in
> Windows standard library, which causes conflict.
> - The Unix file handling does not work in Windows. It needs its own method.
> - Boost library and TR1 clash in a couple of places especially in
> "make_shared".
