Hi Hidetoshi,

I don't actually know much about win32 myself, the only thing I do is to
try and cross-compile for it using mingw32 to make sure the build
doesn't break. One option is to leave it open, or put in a dummy wrapper
which asserts in the win32 part of the code, so that someone who is
interested in win32 can fix it up.

That should be pretty easy to do, and I think thats a fine starting point.

Cheers,
Jes
