The original v3 of "Add support for building native win32 tools" has
actually been merged already.
After merging the patch, you had requested a cleanup patch to which I
responded with the patch's rationale as well as a possible (in my
opinion) dirtier cleanup. No one else suggested a cleaner way to
implement the change, so what is currently committed should be correct.
I'm still open to clever ideas if anyone has one though:)
Thanks,
Peter
