Full ack. I'm not sure how much time I can spend on NUT, but  
especially the Windows port integration is something that makes me  
very uneasy. In its present state, I'm not too thrilled about the way  
it is integrated in the sources. It seems we're getting back to  
massive amounts of #if(n)def's in many critical parts of the code. I'd  
rather see this being integrated by putting the functions that are  
UNIX / Windows / other OS specific in separate modules and link in the  
appropriate version when we build the binaries.

I'd too like to see a roadmap (the announcement of 2.8.0 months before  
is a good starting point).

Best regards, Arjen
