[Box Backup] Boxi with 0.10 server?

[Paul Nash]

Chris

I found it easier to get 0.10 working under cygwin than under VC++.  If I'd
known that it shouldn't have worked, maybe I'd have had more difficulty
:-).  I'll do some regression testing and check that it *actually* works.

I need something for a few Windoze boxen within a week or so, so I've
decided to take the easy way out and write a VB interface (yuck).
Initially it'll talk to bbackupquery and bbackupctl, and once I've got
*that* working, I'll take a look at 0.10 under VC++ and see whether I can
build a library that I can just link into the VB executable.

I don't like VB, but then I don't like Windows generally.  It has the
advantage of making it easy to build (crude) GUIs very easily.  My
knowledge of wx and MFC is way less than my knowledge of VB, though.

If I get to a working cygwin port, I'll send patches.  I'll decide whether
I'm brave enough to let the world see the VB stuff -- it is bound to be
very ugly.
