Re: win32 build and test issues

["Andrew Dunstan" <andrew(at)dunslane(dot)net>]

Bruce,

the setvbuf patch for startup.c should be applied, as all it does is
ensure well understood and expected (i.e. = Unix) behaviour for stderr on
Win32.

I am not happy about the patch for print.c unless I can work out *why* it
works, or someone can explain it to me. (That's why i made the comment
below about not applying it, and didn't send it to -patches.)

cheers

andrew
