I'm seconding Patrick. And especially you Al, you are doing an awesome work
with FreeIPMI!

It's great to see that this thread is still alive.
I've some Windows server that are IPMI capable, under the hand.
And I'm seriously considering the option of a mingw port of FreeIPMI, and
would be pouring some resources into this effort.
A member of my team very quickly tried a compilation, but it has been so
miserably failing that he thrown the towel almost instantly...

So, would you be considering a mingw effort?
How could we help and synchronize?

cheers,
Arnaud
