Does nginx works on Windows? Is there a roadmap?

Last week I had received report that someone build nginx using cygwin with small patch.

Besides, I regularly build nginx using native Win32 compilers MS VC, Borland C and OpenWatcom C to see warnings. The native Win32 code uses select() and I/O completion port. However, this Win32-related code is not production ready and is not included in tarball.

I/O completion port support will be an interesting feature.

Currently I have no plan to significantly improve Win32 code because I do not think it will be faster or handy than existent Win32 solutions (IIS, etc) and because I do not want to support this code in situation when much of users have very low qualification. I simply have no time to explain every tiny detail. Current Unix area is nature barrier for such users.

You are right: projects with a large user comunity have their problems.

I'm asking just because I have noted several comments about Windows in the source.
