[Box Backup] First official Win32 release

[Chris Wilson]

Hi all,

No problem, you did most of the work for us :-)

Please have a look at the branch I created for SSL keepalives, and let me 
know if there's anything blocking it from inclusion:

svn diff -r 323:326 \
http://bbdev.fluffy.co.uk/svn/box/chris/diff-timeout-and-ssl-keepalive

As far as I know, large files (>4Gb) are simply not supported by the MinGW 
compiler using the standard C library functions. One has to replace them 
with Windows-specific functions, and I haven't had time to do that yet.

Also, autoconf detects that large file support is not available (off_t 
remains 4 bytes long), and I haven't figured out how to work around 
that yet.

Cheers, Chris.
