I think win32 situation is somewhat similar (but not nearly as bad as)
to kqemu's. It was useful for some users, but there were no
maintenance and when it got in the way, it was removed because nobody
could fix it.
But I'd prefer a solution where somebody steps up as Windows
maintainer. I'm also doing regular mingw32 builds but otherwise not
much.
VNC threads can be compiled for W32, too.
A short test of the resulting executable was successful, no problems.
The patch is available here:
http://repo.or.cz/w/qemu/ar7.git/commitdiff/aabf11dc0a938b84d76d7c147cbf0445d7bee297
I decided to create a new directory structure hosts/w32, so files can
be moved from the root to hosts/posix, hosts/w32, or hosts/xxx.
Include chains reduce code modifications and conditional compilations.
And people who don't want to see w32 support can remove it easily :-)
Supporting I/O threads for W32 will be possible, too.
I don't think that W32 support is a big problem. It never was.
Some of the real problems were already named in the previous mails.
