I have still some bugs, including a run after the last element
I already signaled: Visual Studio compiles by default everything
in a Release version (/W3) and Debug version (/W4 and a lot of
runtime checks). I have some networking issues too (Winsock is not
really fully compliant, SO_REUSEADDR for instance has a different
semantics).
BTW there are some important things I can't port:
 - PF_UNIX sockets (I tried to replace them by IP sockets but
  it could work only for unittests, for file descriptor sharing
  I tried the socket descriptor duplication...)
 - fork (I tried to use threads in place)
 - auth (the security model is very different, a Windows expert is needed!)

PS: before forgetting it: the branch is still trac826
