I spent some time last night examining the Dillo Windows port, as well as the DPLus version. The DPlus version has multiple patches for extra (likely not-needed?) features atop of the Windows port. So further limited my research to the Dillo Windows port to see what was only needed for Dillo to be functionally compiled on Windows platforms under Mingw. Performing a "diff -urN" on the Windows port against the vanilla Dillo-1.3.0, showed at the very end some stuff concerning socks.h/winsock2.h portability. There were other modifications, but not sure if those were really needed. Would appear they performed a lot of work, and it's sad to see the work just being ignored. Would be nice to see some basic portability for Windows integrated. However, basic and standardized work that is clean and can be integrated within the main Dillo tree. Would appear the DPlus version work went further with extra features, and can easily understand why they were likely not wanted within the main Dillo tree. -- Roger http://rogerx.freeshell.org/
