Frankly, I do not understand how you get a DLL at all.  It doesn't
even compile for me, there is at least a msghdr issue, and there was a
socklen_t issue until I fixed this right now.

I committed the changes to bring the windows port framework in line
with what is in GPGME, but the port remains incomplete.  If you have
any patches to fix the remaining issues, why not send them in?

I used your socklen.m4 from gnulib, nice work. :)

Thanks,
