Igor,

Don't waste your time on the Windows build. Concentrate on making nginx
better and better on Linux.

nginx is by far the best, and keeps getting better and better. Making
everything work on windows will just slow you down.

It is amazing how great a product you have developed, and I have loved
watching the progress, and I love using your server.

If you are using nginx on Windows, then you are an idiot. Go away and
use apache or IIS.
