Most likely that line was taken from an email with the file attached
to it. IIRC, the changes were mainly adapting pathing to Win32 pathing
syntax. It has been awhile since I did that work and the test system I
had it on no longer exists.

I might also point out that LibXSLT never would compile on Win32. This
was a noted issue with the maintainer of Strawberry Perl. I am unsure
if things have changed. If LibXSLT were to be ported to Win32, I think
a fully working install of Koha 3 on Win32 would be very near reality.
I seem to recall a post a while back by someone offering to put some
time on porting LibXSLT. I'm not sure if that ever took off or not. Of
course other modules have been added in the prereqs since this work
was done and those would have to be verified on Win32 as well and
ported if necessary.

I'd love to pick this back up, but just do not have the time to right now.

Regards,
Chris
