Thanks for the follow-up.

With ants and jars, do I assume correctly that you are talking
about quickfixJ?  I'm looking to build the c++ version of quickfix.

(Please let me know if I misunderstood your comment.)

(Presumably it should be straightforward to build / run quickfixJ
on windows, so this could be an option for me, but then I would
have to port some c++ code to java, or build libraries for use with
jni.)
