 Just wanted to let the Win32 interested parties know I'm working on a
 build script for Windows that will be aiming to replicate all the steps
 found in:
 http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Windows_Port

 So far, I have it downloading, extracting, and compiling 90% of the
 archives automatically. it's not doing any patching/etc yet.

 It's still a real "work-in-progress", and is not truly usable to actually
 complete a full build with, but I thought that there are others out there
 that might benefit from it.

 It's a perl script, just like the OSX one is, so you need to have perl
 installed.   I recommend Activestate perl for windows (
 http://downloads.activestate.com/ActivePerl/Windows/5.8/ActivePerl-5.8.8.822-MSWin32-x86-280952.msi
 )

 I'd be interested in getting this put into SVN 'contrib' like the OSX-
 packager.pl - how would the core developers feel about this?  ( I guess
 you'll want to see the code first, so I've opened a new trac ticket to
 attach the code to! )
