Status
======
I would consider this port experimental. Things may work, or may not.
Things may never work because of huge differences between Linux and
Windows. Or things may work in future, if you report the faults to
busybox@busybox.net, especially with patches.

Building
========
You need MinGW compiler and a POSIX environment (so that "make
menuconfig" works). I cross compile from Linux, but MSYS or Cygwin
should be OK.
To start, copy scripts/defconfig.mingw32 to .config. You can then
customize your build (mostly disabling stuff because defconfig.mingw32
is the biggest workable set).
For cross-compiling, run "make menuconfig" and set Busybox
Settings -> Build Options -> Cross Compiler Prefix
Then just "make".
Attempts to make it work with MS Visual Studio are appreciated. You
can start with porting kconfig ;-)
Limitation
==========
- Use forward slashes. Backslash support is very limited.
- Do not do wild things with Windows drive notation, like archiving a
whole drive. If you want it, tell us, preferably with patches.
