the zinf win32 port is currently in a state of restructuring. if you 
want to help work on the win32 port then you should use the zinf-devel 
list.  Really though, zinf win32 support is suffering from insufficient 
programmers.   The core zinf development team uses unix and current zinf 
uses a VC build interface and although i cant speak for the other unix 
developers, I hate - Absolutely hate - having to work with a gui and/or 
dos to compile programs.  If it wasn't a hassle enough that dos has all 
it's slashes backwards and retarded copy/pasteing between the gui and it 
, it also only uses qwerty.  That's seriously way too much annoyance for 
a single port.  So yea,  if you want to help, see if you can get some 
win32 interest going to help our one win32 developer out of the ever 
increasing hole the win32 port is falling into.
