Some info on Squid and MinGW

Hi Robert,

I'm working on Your MinGW/Squid patch, and I have some questions:

- What is the correct compile procedure with Cygwin/MinGW ?

- On a previous mail you wrote about _free_osfhnd:

Do you have some reference about, link , etc. ?

- Why do You have moved getopt() from win32lib.c, the new it's a better
source or is only a organizational move ?

A final consideration: looking at MinGW sources, it seems to me that the FD
handling with _free_osfhnd can't work using the MSVCRT.DLL, because the
function it's not exported from the DLL version of MSVCRT. So, I hope to
find some workaroud.

Regards

Guido
