The Windows nmake files, def files and rc files for a number of ooRexx extensions and are in main/trunk/platform/windows. What are they doing there? If I need to locate the Windows nmake file for rxsock I would naturally go to the main/trunk/extensions/rxsock subdir to find it (or one of its child subdirs). The way it is currently organized I might never find the nmake file or I might miss the fact that it also has an associated def file.
The organization we have now is not natural, at least for me. And it also
makes the nmake files for Windows very verbose. They contain long paths to
make sources and this is naturally harder to read and maintain. By placing
the make, rc and def files close to the source files you reduce the paths
coded in the make file and reduce the amount of look up a maintainer has to
do to locate things.
Just my two cents worth :-)

I'm not sure I understand what "The *nix build for ooRexx out og the
main/trunk" is and why the location of the windows files affects the
windows builds. The placement of those windows files was
intentionaly, as I was trying to get a clean separation between code
that's shared across platforms and code (and build files) that were
specific to just a single platform. I'd really like to maintain that
type of separation so that anybody dealing with new platform ports
never even has to know that those files exist.
That said, I'm sure we can accommodate a few days of disruption. I
need to spend some time working on docs and test cases now anyway.
