Not sure what "outside of the main tree" means. We have definitely committed to supporting these architectures "out of the box", so having for example to apply some 3rd party patches or whatever to get Windows support is not going to work. However, I AM interested in having the non-POSIX behaviors move as much as possible outside of the "main" source files and into their own, separate files. In that vein, I'd urge the implementation of the abspath function to be moved into a w32 source file and invoked from there, if at all possible. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
