I saw the #ifdef maze in config-win32.h and had no intention of breaking
anything that was supported there. However, I was worried somewhat because
it looked like there were multiple ways to target Windows - CMake looked
like it used some other mechanism than config-win32.h, for example.

What's the difference between the lib\Makefile.vc10 and
winbuild\Makefile.vc10?

What would you recommend regarding the gmtime_r versus gmtime_s issue?
Under Visual Studio, gmtime_s can be used to implement gmtime_r, but not,
say, MinGW unless you're on Windows Vista or later due to the msvcrt.dll
version. Should I just implement gmtime_r in Windows myself, using Win32's
FileTimeToSystemTime and a bit of arithmetic? This would work on all
compilers.
