Hi all,

With the latest changes in vc2005-compile-fixes, it's now possible 
(and actually not too difficult) to compile Box Backup on a Win32 machine 
without Cygwin, using Visual C++ Express 2005 and ActiveState Perl. I did 
it from scratch in about 4 hours, including download and installation 
times.

Also, Box now runs properly as a service, as long as it can read the 
config file and write to the DataDirectory specified therein.

Cheers, Chris.
