Still need to check the root dir case, but it should work given something
like "c:\", the "c:" has the special meaning of the current directory on
the give drive which probably won't work with the API used.

The list of unresolved is now empty meaning gio compiles an links with msvc6.

I've just commited the following:

2007-12-08  Hans Breuer  <hans breuer org>

	[gio compiles and links on win32, not sure how much already works]
	* glocaldirectorymonitor.c : ifdefed out inotify emulation for win32
	* glocalfile.c : use HAVE_UNISTD_H; implement file system size info
	base on win32 API; prefer g_lstat() over lstat(); instead of
	localtime_r() use an all GLib implementation on win32;
	get_mount_info() still needs a win32 specifc implementation
	* glocalfileinfo.c : use HAVE_*_H; start of implementation of
	win32_get_file_user_info to get owner/group info without uid/gid
	* glocalfileinputstream.c : include <io.h> on win32
	* glocalfileoutputstream.c : include <io.h> on win32 and some S_IS*
	definition, use g_win32_ftruncate() for G_OS_WIN32
	* gwin32appinfo.c : optionalize a bunch on #ifdef AssocQueryString
	it is available with mingw/w32api but a mess with the M$ Platform SDKs
	see: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2007-December/msg00014.html
	* makefile.msc : updated

Still need to take a closer look. Just #ifdefed for the moment.
