I feel like I"m getting bogged down in explaining  my desire for a -F parameter on the 
Windows version of xserver.  So I'm going to take another 
approach.

Offlist or onlist, can someone help me get a build environment together so I can hack 
on the xserver code myself?

I see I can start with this:
http://www.mysql.com/products/maxdb/develop/windows.html
http://sapdb.2scale.net/moin.cgi/CompileSources
But it references 7.4 and I want to be sure I have the best information possible.

Any and all information you can share:
  1.  Which versions of VCC were used to build the binaries for download?  The docs 
reference v6 and v7, which is it?  Was there a service pack?
  2.  Any hint on which source files are related to xserver.
  3.  Any hint on how to just compile xserver instead of doing the whole system.
  4.  Hints and tips :)

Ultimatly I am willing to develop and test a patch and submit it.  I just need some 
help with getting the complex MaxDB build environment going.  I am 
also willing to put up a Wiki page for other Win32 hackers once I figure out how to 
get it going myself :)

Again, offlist is fine with me if that is your preference, otherwise I tend to like 
the info to be public for others to learn.

Thank you!

  Stephen Gutknecht
