PilotUnix GNU/Cygnus WIN32 Port


This evening I "ported" some of the pilot-unix suite to NT using cygnus'
wonderful gnu tools.  I haven't tried getting the Perl/Java/Python stuff
working...yet.

Changes are quite minor;  however, it does appear that the optimizer (at
least at level two) was generating bad code for the set_long & set_short
macros, particularly noticeable in function dlp_CreateDB.  Removing
optimizations elimated some bizzare runtime behavior.

Now I can *really* backup up my pilot, with the excellent pilot-xfer, just
like under Linux.  Cool!

If there's enough interest, I can submit some patches.  Kenneth?  (If so,
how would you like them submitted?)
