Polipo on MingW

I got the sources from the Git-repo today, make a quick MingW
makefile, patched only one place in diskcache.c, configured polipo.conf 
and ran it. I used lynx for testing. And I must say I'm pretty amased of 
how easy it was to build and run using MingW. Kudos to the folks who 
have made this possible!

Anyway, I only needed to patch this:

-------------------

But I some problems that should be fixed IMHO:
* -DHAVE_REGEX is required. Otherwise NO_FORBIDDEN gets
  defined and that causes 'tunnelIsMatched()' to be missing.

* The hacks specifying the ~/polito dirs should be improved. Comments
  welcome. We cannot safely assume that every Windows user has a $HOME.

I have put my effort on my web-page here:
