Perhaps that was Iliya's impression, but I didn’t intend to move the Win32/64 
build process to Windows. I was merely cleaning off the dust from MSVC building 
process. See, it is much easier for me to compile, run and debug OpenVPN in 
Visual Studio, to test my patches *before* git-send-email-ing them to your 
beloved mingw system. ;)

That's why I forked OpenVPN repository at GitHub and setup Travis CI, so I can 
send the patches only after they are confirmed to build on mingw.

Best regards,
Simon
