So my questions:

with MS dev tools?
I have no clue. Others who develop under MS need to answer this question.
- I get the impression that most libsmi dev is going
on under 'nix and that that Win32 libsmi is pretty much an orphan child. If that's true, I'd be glad to volunteer as a foster parent to help with Win32 development. Can I be useful to list subscribers and libsmi users?
The libsmi (obviously) was developed under 'nix and all core people strongly prefer this development platform. The Win32 binaries I sometimes make available are actually cross compiled using mingw and I simply hope the result is somewhat usable without actually testing things.
That said, we have been accepting patches to make Win32 support easier in the past but we rely on people sending us patches. In other words, we are happy to integrate patches that look reasonable and make the life of Win32 users easier and volunteers are greatly welcome to produce them.
