[Box Backup-dev] Win32 port

[Chris Wilson]

Hi all,

The original patch (Martin's test tree against 0.08) was actually 8909 
lines. I don't know how I got my original 4,700 line figure; perhaps it 
was wishful thinking ;-)

After a mammoth patching session, I've got the diff down to 5682 lines 
(http://bbdev.fluffy.co.uk/svn/box/chris/win32/11-code-cleanups/ against 
0.08). Excluding files newly added, this drops to 1952 lines.

I think it's starting to get to the point where we could apply it to the 
trunk without major conflicts and without including too much unrelated 
stuff. It's also starting to get to the point where it can be reviewed in 
about 2 hours, compared to about 8 hours before (hint hint :-)

The next major drop would be from dropping the Berkeley DB4 support, if we 
decide to go ahead with that. Anyway, I hope to complete a trial merge 
against Martin's autoconf branch tomorrow.

Now, after about 14 hours straight coding, I think it's time for me to 
sleep :-)

Cheers, Chris.
