+=head1 NAME
+
+TODO.win32 - TODO List for Windows
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+These are open issues of the "native" port to the Win32 platforms.
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+Win32 "native" ports require no additional software to run but the
+operating system.  There should be other TODOs for (emulation) systems
+that run on Win32, eg Cygwin.
+
+Native compilers include:
+
+       Borland C++ (bcc)		version xxx or later
+       Microsoft Visual C++ (cl)	version xxx or later
+       Mingw32 with GCC (gcc)		version xxx or later
+

+=item Automatically Export Symbols
+
+Annotate the declarations with something like
+
+	 PARROT_API
+	 Parrot_some_func
+
+and define PARROT_API, eg for cl, as
+
+    #ifdef PARROT_EXPORTS
+    #define PARROT_API __declspec(dllexport)
+    #else
+    #define PARROT_API __declspec(dllimport)
+    #endif
+
+and be compiled with PARROT_EXPORTS defined.  At least cl will then
+know to automatically export the symbol, without additional
+module-definition file (.def).
+
+=item Event Model
+
+Leo says:
+"Parrot on unixish systems is running two threads: the event thread
+handles all kind of events (timers, notifications, signals). The IO
+thread converts signals to events and is intended to run async I/O
+(which would arrive as signals too). This scheme isn't carved in stone,
+but it will look somehow like that.
+
+"Win32 is internally already event based and a lot of these events like a
+SIGINT (program termination signal) are messages in Win32. So I think
+that Win32 needs a message loop that handles this kind of stuff. WRT
+threading there are emulation layers for POSIX threads, but I doubt that
+these are as efficient as Win32 functions. (Disclaimer: I really don't
+know much about Win32)."
