2) please. I'm quite happy to integrate the janitor stuff slowly. I picked
up Ruurd's patch on 13 Dec because I have been minded for a year and a
half of a conversation we had that there really was no excuse to not
support Windows officially. 

Having said that, there's no need for us both to do the boring stuff.

I don't see the need to rush the portability changes into the tree. I think
that it's perfectly reasonable to put your patch in development/win32.

Why do I say that? Because I think we're both missing Lars' point that
#ifdef stuff in the core (ie, src directory) probably means a missing
abstraction. #ifdefs go in support.

Having said that (again), I've already indicated those parts of the patch
which, IMO, should just go into the repository. The qt changes, f.ex.
