[Planner Dev] Planner on Windows

[Francisco Moraes <fmoraes nc rr com>]

Hi,

I've been working on getting Planner to run on Windows and I have been 
successful so far, including libgnomeprint with the Postscript and PDF 
outputs (I am working on the Windows direct printing, but it will take a 
while).

The changes needed are not too big and some can make my life easier:

- define all directories in the config.h or Makefiles instead of code 
(example, DATADIR "/planner/dtds" should be avoided)
- avoid using gnome specific functions, like GnomeEntry in the MS 
Project XML import plugin (anyway, this will be obsolete once GTK 2.6 is 
in use)
- can we swtich the about dialog to a custom one?
- libgnome-vfs doesn't really seem to help much as it is only used by 
the XSL module, so I had to change it

Help is still a todo in my list, but all the other function seems to be 
working nice with a native compile.

If anyone is interested in helping out, let me know. I know this has 
been attempted before, but now it is a lot easier without the libbonobo 
dependencies

I will keep everyone posted. I don't have place to put any "test" 
binaries but I will try later once I get further along. I need to merge 
the 0.13 changes (if any) since 0.12.94.
