[PD-dev] win32 build farm machine: humble requests

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

August and I have been struggling with lots of win32/mingw updates  
over the past week or two.  zlib is in there, I think August got pkg- 
config going.  glib needs iconv and gettext.  iconv is in there, but I  
haven't gotten gettext to go yet.

August and I are sick of win32 builds, so we are trying to organize a  
"mingw build day" where we can all suffer together. Want to join in  
sometime in the next week? :D  In order to keep this maintainable,  
everything that is not directly included in MinGW needs to be checked  
into the 'sources' section of SVN and built from source using the  
'sources/build-libs-on-mingw.sh' script.  That's what I've been doing  
for years.  Of course if someone thinks they can do it better than me,  
they are welcome to take it over.

As for flite, I'd like to get it going on Mac OS X and Windows.  I am  
up for working on that if you are.  We could start with Mac OS X since  
that should be a lot easier.
