Thanks for considering it further - much appreciated.

I should point out that there's obviously nothing blocking for me, so I'm fine with any delay.

I wouldn't mind, and that is something I have done before with libcdio -- sadly that effort was stopped short of adding full Visual Studio support (i.e. with with project files), but at least now the libcdio codebase is fully compatible with MS compilers. My only issue is that I'm very busy with various projects, so time constraints are a major factor.

Still, I have been benefiting greatly from GRUB and I do have additional MSVC compatibility patches, especially the ones that have to do struct packing, that I wouldn't mind seeing integrated in the source. So if it can help, I'll see if I can take a stab at providing MSVC support for the whole project. Overall, short of very specific quirks, I haven't found much in the way of compiling the GRUB code with MSVC, so maybe the effort required won't be that bad...
I'll keep you posted.

Regards,

/Pete
