I hope I haven't over-divided things into chunks. Following your
recommendations, no single chunk updates both C sources and MSVC related
files. I'm afraid the [PATCH 05/13] might fail on mingw, but as mentioned in
its description there are a couple of work-arounds possible. I am not
comfortable with mingw to test it myself. Hence, I got this MSVC
resurrection idea.

I shall look into the building of openvpn.exe under MSVC in the days to
come. At least to get an estimate how much work would require me to
re-establish MSVC build for it as well.

I have been happily using OpenVPN to connect remote computers for more than
a decade. Perhaps it's time now to give something in return. :)

Best regards,
Simon
