Oh well, we've done it again...
if (management)
{
gc = gc_new ();
struct buffer out = alloc_buf_gc (256, &gc);
... this is not allowed in visual studio (having a variable declaration
after "non-declaration" code), but gcc doesn't complain, so we usually
don't notice.

Visual Studio is a big pain, so we cross-compile using MinGW64 from Linux.
Samuli has a wiki page somewhere on community.openvpn.net that explains
how to build OpenVPN in a non-maddening way.
But thanks for the report. I have a Win7 VM that should actually be
able to do a Visual Studio build - I'll try to find time to look at these
issues and send a patch.
