   Well,  last night,  I did two things.   
      
   First,  I too the original 1.0 source (non-smapi) and got it to compile in   
   Visual C++ 2010 Express.  Which, was easier then trying to get my MIGW32 to   
   build it.  Then I cleaned up the code to reduce the warnings to VCE   
   complaining only about using stricmp - some warning about being insecure?!? -   
   added that to my to-do list.   
      
   Secondly,  I merged my SSL and performance improvements into the original code   
   base.  I also cleaned up unused local variables.  I am currently testing the   
   build on my point (posted this message with it) as well as having my automated   
   testing scripts hammer my poor Windows VM for all its worth! :)

   Yeah, but I feel I got everyone's hopes up...  I hate to disappoint.

   After reading this is when I decided that the bloat of supporting all those   
   different message bases, when only JAM is actually useful to me (and it seems   
   others) did I backtrack to the non-smapi version.
