[gpsd-dev] Windows version of libgps

[Robert Norris]

Regarding the patch(es) to enable a Windows version of libgps,

My method for building this is on openSUSE Tumbleweed Virtual Machines (32 + 64 
bit versions).

The way I've managed to do this is with extra commits at:

https://github.com/rnorris/gpsd/commits/WindowsDLL

All the system dependencies is then described by the mingw32-libgps.spec (and 
mingw64-libgps.spec) files.
Which are available in openSUSE Build Service repositories.

Sadly some hacks in the SConstruct file seem to be required to force cross 
compiling in scons.
I have not been successful any other way.

Testing then can run under Wine.
Separately I also have access to some Windows VMs and real Windows machines for 
further testing.

Possibly the example mingw.spec files are useful to include into GPSD 
repository,
however the real building of the DLL is more for reference purposes rather than 
including in the master.
