[bind10-dev] WIN32 port

I've just finished a set of check scripts (cygwin bash scripts doing
the same thing than "make check") so most of the library (dns++, datasrc,
etc) and some utilities are ported to WIN32.
I have two choices for the integration:
 - doing a change for the whole ported code, for instance the DLL
  decoration (trac2214), or
 - integrate directory by directory (first src/lib/exceptions, second
  src/lib/util, etc)
I followed the first way but it doesn't fit with changes spread over
a large number of files as the DLL decoration, so today I prefer the
second way. But for it I'll need more active help, i.e., one or two
persons who can review and integrate each step in parallel to other
developments. Of course it should be done at a slow rythm (e.g.,
one or two directories per week).
What is your opinion about this?

Thanks

PS: I worked on the src/lib/python stuff: everything not relying on
AF_UNIX sockets (which are Unix specific as the name suggests :-)
worked. BTW I had to replace many os.sep by '/' so the idea the
path separator should be '\\' on WIN32 is just a misconception
(and '/' is simpler :-).
