And as Microsoft in it's great wisdom has decided not to include any compilers in their OSs, the lack of binary builds for RCs kinda makes it a bit hard for those who would like to to test to actually test. What would be great is a cross-compiler based on the cygwin package that would allow the developers to build win32 versions without having to have access to a win32 platform. That way they could at least test to make sure that it builds. Couple that with VMWare and you're flying :-) Seriously though, win32 is particular hard to do automated testing. Maybe we could use cygwin for running the test-suite under win32 and at least be able to use standard *nix tools? I haven't really looked at the test-suite, so this is just a (hopefully) helpful suggestion.

The nature of PHP on Windows is that it's really best to compile it with Visual C++. It uses native threading support and ISAPI support. I don't think it's a good or feasible idea to move to cygwin. Andi
