[Box Backup] windows binaries

[Ben Summers]

Box Backup on Windows status:

I haven't actually managed to get it compiling under Cygwin -- I worked 
with Paul Arch on this with the rather interesting process of him 
reporting errors and patches, and me attempting to integrate them 
successfully. My Cygwin install appears to be "special purpose" and 
modified by an embedded device vendor to be extra exciting, and I don't 
dare touch it for fear of breaking something.

Paul did mention he was going to write up some info on running under 
Cygwin on a web page somewhere, but I suspect real work got in the way. 
If anyone does any Box Backup related web pages, I'd like to link to 
them from the main web site.

I do hope to do a proper Windows port at some time, with decent UI and 
everything. However, it's not a huge priority at the moment.

PS: If you do decide to distribute binaries, then check out Inno Setup 
for an easy way to produce a decent installer.
