Re: [libmicrohttpd] Patches to build libmicrohttpd on Android

[Christian Grothoff]

Dear Jan,

Totally reasonable patches, except for your de-capitalization of the 
TSEARCH (and related calls):

   /* Search for the IP address */
-  if (NULL == (nodep = TSEARCH (key,
+  if (NULL == (nodep = tsearch (key,

This would break our W32 build.

I'll try to find some time later tonight to patch things up, update 
docs, etc. and then this will hit SVN HEAD.

Thanks for the patches!

Happy hacking!
