I have thought about this some more.  There is another problem that
I haven't told you about.  You will probably also need to work on getting
the
runtime to compile.  This will probably require modifications to the
./configure
script so as to get the runtime to compile.

If you look in runtime/mercury_conf_param.h you will see some #defines
which are defined when the Win32 API is available.  I am not sure if that
is all you will need.

Anyway feel free to let me know any problems you encounter, as I can
probably help you resolve them.

Regards,
Peter
