Hey there. i have a patch for v2.3.32 that allowes building openldap using wgcc
(interix-wgcc.sourceforge.net).

The result is a native win32 binary (without dependencies to any cygwin.dll or
anything like it)

benefits:

 * fast compiler (cl.exe)
 * native win32, no overheads for big wrappers
   (there is a small wrapper though ;o) but thats statically linked (pxwc))
 * debugable with Visual Studio (very cool)

thats it, i'll write a FAQ for this ;o)

P.S.: i know the patch is not perfect, but as a first thing it will do. there
will be a second version for sure that may be nicer, so it can be incorporated
with the official sources (if wanted...)

Cheers, Markus
