[Box Backup-dev] Win32 build

[Ben Summers]

The current release candidate doesn't have the Win32 build  
environment in it, and I'm lead to believe the stuff in trunk is old  
anyway.

I don't have the necessary stuff to test or do anything with the  
Win32 side of things, so perhaps someone would like to set things up  
so that it's easy to build from the distribution archive?

I suggest...

    http://bbdev.fluffy.co.uk/svn/box/chris/win32/vc2005-compile- 
fixes/infrastructure/msvc/

goes into trunk, or something like it.

Then, add these dirs to

   distribution/boxbackup/DISTRIBUTION-MANIFEST.txt

so that they get copied into the archive.

Add

   distribution/boxbackup/WIN32.txt

and write some notes which explain how to build on win32, with all  
the various variants (which is Cygwin, Native with MinGW, Native with  
MSVC).

Clean up trunk/ -- there's a few bits there which look Win32-ish.

What's win32.bat? If it's important, add it to DISTRIBUTION- 
MANIFEST.txt, as it won't get copied by default. It implies it's for  
cygwin, is it also relevant to Win32 native?

Then run

   infrastructure/makedistribution.pl boxbackup

and then see if you can follow your instructions to build the  
unpacked archive.

Thanks!

Now the only thing is that everything is designed to be a generic  
framework for building files, and all this is terribly Box Backup  
specific. Given the way MSVC works, I don't think there's much that  
can be done.

And finally, it'd be nice not to build lib/win32 on non-win32 platforms.
