Great, thanks for this!
It might be useful for some other projects I'm involved with as well. :)

Okay, thanks.  I've heard that perhaps "WIN32" is not the best
preprocessor define to use for Windows compiling.
I've personally been using VS to compile liblo and I also had to make
some changes to liblo to get it to work.
So I think general support for windows compiling is something that needs work.

Good idea.  If you have the time to submit a patch, please do so, or
perhaps just file a bug in the tracker otherwise.
I'm slowly getting through some of the backlog of "things to do", but
it may take some time.  Using the tracker will help greatly.


Thanks,
