All I did was to add '#define HAVE_STAT_H 1' to conf.h with VC5, Enterprise
I believe.

I think someone submitted changes to get it to compile under cygwin32.

Probably because the maintainer of one of the OLC's (me) doesn't use
Windows95 for compiling and thus only fixes the errors pointed out to him.

   1) In conf.h.win (which you should have copied to conf.h), you need to

   real OS, etc, but I just
