It is fine for me. If multiple people start hacking on the code at the
same time and step on each other's toes, then I would recommend that we
create additional per-user branches like
https://libwin32.googlecode.com/svn/branches/dubiously/Win32-API
But let's not go there unless it is actually needed.
Beyond setting up the branch we also need someone to take the lead on
doing the initial re-arrangement to get things to work on 64-bit, even
if only for a single simple function signature. This re-arrangement
cannot be done by all of us simultaneously, so I hope someone steps
forward to take the lead on this.
I won't have time to do this myself, but I will help with issues along
the way, especially with figuring out how the Makefile.PL stuff to get
it to work in all the different configurations (ideally I would also
like to see the testing DLL being build locally instead of having a
prebuilt binary in the distribution).
Cheers,
