Re: [Bug-wget] remove windows subdirectory

[Giuseppe Scrivano]

Hello Christopher,

I have spent some time in the past weeks to fix the Windows build,
with the last alpha tarball,"./configure && make" should be enough to
build wget.  Do you know other problems under Windows (beside IPv6, SSL
and NTLMv1)?

What I can say is that they should be fixed before the next release.

By the way, I see that currently OpenSSL is preferred over GNU TLS (not
only under Windows), I would invert this.

Thanks,
Giuseppe
