I'm using whatever compiler happens to come with the DDK.  In this case 
it appears to be "Windows DDK 3790.1830"  A/The DDK was used for 
netperf2, and was I believe used for libxml2.  FWIW, the netperf2 code 
is I'm told also compilable with MSVCsomething, but I've not done that 
myself.

I've no idea.  My port isn't far enough along to know if anything 
actually _works_ or not.
