Sorry, I'm not sure I'm following: help what happen?  If you mean
unbreak the Windows build, then either (a) describing what exactly
needs to be done for that or (b) actually doing that is what's
needed.  I'm almost done doing (a) myself, but I can never be sure I
figured out everything until I actually make the changes and try
building.
