Hi,

a new patch set from Heiko is coming up, which is going to change the
"IFCONFIG_BEFORE_TUN_OPEN" to "what everyone else does" (because what
we currently have is older than anyone remembers, and makes life much
more complicated than needed).

Now, we are not currently properly testing Windows - on the unix systems,
I'd build a t_client.rc test set with like 5 extra tests for "--route-method
adaptive/ipapi/exe", "IPv4 only", "IPv6 and IPv6", interactive service
or not, etc. - but I'm not sure what the best way is to do this on
windows.

Would "use mingw/msys bash" work for stuff like "put regular openvpn.exe
into background with 'openvpn.exe & pid=$! ' and kill with "kill $opid"?

I have been toying with the idea of replacing t_client.sh with a perl
script that uses the management interface to control openvpn (at least
the "has our startup finished?  have we exploded?  shutdown orderly now!"
bits...) - but that's also not trivially implemented as one would have
to redo the whole "look at ifconfig/route output and parse in a system
dependent way" - and test on a gazillion of platforms :-)


So... other ideas?  Selva, Valdikss, how do you test windows builds?

Jens, since you have dived into t_client improvements - any nice ideas
how to make this happen with "reasonable effort"?
