This is impractical: Given windows filesystem characteristic, it is
not possible to check out silver source codes in a meaningful way
on windows, because of the case insensitive issues. The net result
is that I will not be able to check out trunk and test whether any
merge from build-improvements to trunk works. I do consider the fact
that build-improvements can build on windows essential.
There are several ways to solve this:
(1) you check in your mega change that solves that problem, or
(2) you check in only the changes that are needed for successful
check out on windows. Personally, I don't see why that change
useful in its own should be put on hold for a much bigger
change. Incremental improvements!
