You should _really_ merge most of these (the non-hack ones) into trunk 
ASAP. If not, what has a large risk of happening is that:
1) Too many changes happen in your branch which are purely related to 
MSVC compilation and not to UMODE, bugs happen and we don't know why anymore
2) If you take large breaks from the branch, changes rot away and 
eventually never get included.

So please, I urge you to commit most of these fixes into trunk and check 
that they remain GCC compatible... for your own good too. These kinds of 
branches can be a pain.

Best regards,

While you are at it, you should start working on a rbuild backend for MSVC so others can help
rather than having to maintain multiple sets of makefiles.

Thanks
