The copyright assignment process is started.

The patch unfortunately leaves '#include <sys/mman.h>' (line 30) in cli.c.
This line must be removed. A corrected patch is attached.

As a test, I changed gl/getpass.h and gl/getpass.c so that it compiles
on Win32 (and always returns NULL ;)
After that, a crossbuild with the Debian mingw32 package worked fine! So
a gnulib getpass module that works for MinGW is all that is missing for
a successful Win32 build.

I have one question, though: src/common.h defines socklen_t to int for
Win32. This is a redefinition since configure previously detected a
missing socklen_t and then defined it to be size_t in config.h.
I think the definition in src/common.h (line 11) should be removed, and
the configure script should always define socklen_t to int. The
'NOTE' section in the Linux connect(2) man page says that it was
historically an int, and Win32 and MacOS X still use int.

Last, I wrote a simple getpass() version for Win32 (attached). This
works completely different from the gnulib getpass module since 
- Windows has no /dev/tty concept
- Windows cannot switch terminal properties (AFAIK).
I have no idea how something like this could be properly integrated into
a gnulib module.

Regards,
Martin
