Thats easy to deal with, in fact most likely not really an issue unless you do a checkout from a different environment than you build.. > > lib/getopt.c.

One from either - FreeBSD - uclibc - glibc - or a number of other projects should be fine.. but I suspect the glibc one has to much of dependencies..

Not convinced this is a reason. If you need to make changes for Windows then it's best if these changes is done in a way which fits all.. And having code, even if Windows specific, in the windows branch is a very bad thing as it makes it a lot harder for the project to audit the codebase. > Regarding to Squid 2, if in the future there is > no plan for intrusive changes on the IPC/FD side > that could affect the Windows port, a merge into > a single branch could be considered. Who knows. But I don't see the windows port so special in that regard. We already have differences between many platforms. Sure, Windows is a little more different, but not very much. Regards Henrik
