Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] win32 questions - try 2
From: vlad@php.net (Vlad Krupin)

I wasn't really intending for it to be there since it is in RC stage, 
and this is technically "new functionality". I thought it is "too late", 
but, if not, I'll do that. There are only a few lines of code to backport.

My big question is how to get the code to be in win32 snapshots and 
ultimately in a release though.
