Here is some status on my recent commits.
I spent a good portion of the weekend building FluidSynth using MinGW
and fixing bugs on Windows. All MIDI drivers should support SYSEX at
this point. In addition, the TCP/IP FluidSynth shell server works now
on Windows.
Great, thanks for the work :-)
One issue I have run into with the shell server though, is that it uses
LF for line termination. This seems to be contrary to the Telnet
standard (should be CR LF). I'm reluctant to change it though, since
this could potentially break backwards compatibility with clients which
use FluidSynth in this fashion. It means that Windows telnet, and
likely other telnet clients, aren't as useful as they could be. It
would be nice to just switch to using CR LF for TCP/IP shell access
though. Any opinions on that?
Well, can't we just chop off any CR if we find one, at the end of each command? Then we would
support both LF and CR LF as line terminators?

I remember Pedro was compiling it with VC2005/2008(?) and even had a pointer to where you could
download that compiler for free.
