Yes, but they are in totally different code trees, libbind in BIND 8 and
libbind9 in BIND 9. I haven't built libbind on Win32.

I am building libbind9 on Win32. I have to. It's libbind that I'm not building
in BIND9. I'm forced to use libbind from BIND8. The libbbind library in
BIND 9 is not set up for Win32 yet, so I wouldn't even try compiling
queryperf against it.  The method that I chose was to copy queryperf
source to a BIND 8 tree and build it over there.  If I have to add libbind9
to that as well, then I have to either copy the lib/bind9 tree as well (for
the includes), change the include path list to point to a specific version
of BIND 9, and then include the libbind9.lib in the link step.  Any way
you look at it, it's messy. The best solution would be to do the work
to get libbind to build on Win32 but I have no charter right now to do so.
