[Nut-upsdev] Merging windows_port branch

[Charles Lepple]

Please be sure to merge r2990 and any other recent changes (r2993,  
r2994?) onto windows_port as well. (The patch file dated "24-May-2011  
16:10" seems to revert those changes.) A good way to catch things like  
this is to indicate the range of revisions which you are merging in  
the commit message, and check the last merged revision against the  
trunk. (Newer versions of Subversion supposedly automate this process,  
but I am skeptical.)

Also, please ensure that the C files have Unix-style line endings when  
they get checked in. Setting the svn:eol-style property to "native" on  
those files will cause LF to be translated to CR+LF on Windows  
platforms.

I'll start a build of the windows_port branch on a *nix machine  
shortly, but have you been able to do any regression testing of that  
branch with a non-Windows machine?
