+Changes related to compilation under MinGW/any sane win32 gcc
+=============================================================
+
+* event.c
+- If gcc include "WIN32-Code/misc.h" instead of "misc.h"
+
+* WIN32-Code/misc.h
+- Add struct prototypes for timeval and timezone
+
+* buffer.c
+- changed type of "i" from "u_int" to "unsigned int". My MinGW wasn't 
+  recognizing it. (u_int is normally typedef'ed to unsigned int, right?)
+
+* evbuffer.c
+- removed incorrect win32 error checking, see bufferevent_writecb().
+  (this needs to be fixed by anyone planning to use evbuffer on win32)
+
+* log.c
+- If gcc include "WIN32-Code/misc.h" instead of "misc.h" 
+
+* WIN32-Code/misc.c
+- if gcc, include "misc.h"
+- added newline at end of file to shut up gcc
+
+* WIN32-Code/win32.c
+- Altered the prototypes of win32_*() so their argument types didn't conflict
+  with the function definitions.
+- Casted types of win32_* to void inside win32ops so that it didn't conflict
+  with the definition of eventops (gcc doesn't like this)
+- Altered prototype of signal_handler to be static since definition is static
+  (why wasn't it like this before)
+- Casted the second argument of signal() to be void*, some reason my MinGW 
+  doesn't have sighandler_t typedef'ed.
+
+* configure.in
+- some code to check if we are compiling for WIN32. 
+  
+* Makefile.am
+- if BUILD_WIN32 is defined, include WIN32-Code/misc.c and
+  WIN32-Code/win32.c as source files.
+- if WIN32, do not build test stuff. (not windows friendly)
+- if WIN32, explicitly link to ws2_32.dll
+  
+Notes
+-----
+- We assume that if __GNUC__ is undefined we are building with MSVC
+- If the user wishes to build a dll, they are on their own, the syntax is 
+  compiler specific. 
+- Getting this warning from libtool, no idea why
+  "libtool: link: warning: undefined symbols not allowed in i686-pc-mingw32
+   shared libraries"
+
+  
+Changes related to "custom eventops"
+====================================
+
+* configure.in
+- add argument --enable-custom-eventops, sets USE_CUSTOM_EVENTOPS in config.h
+- add argument --enable-custom-code, sets USE_CUSTOM_CODE in Makefile
+
+* Makefile.am
+- if USE_CUSTOM_CODE, include custom/custom.c as a source file.
+  (I can't think of a way to pass a string to Makefile.am, so I'm stuck naming
+   the new source file custom.c. It just seems simpler this way, but I'm open 
+   to suggestions)
+   
+* event.c
+- if USE_CUSTOM_EVENTOPS, use eventops as defined in custom-eventops.h
+
+Notes
+-----
+Just in case it isn't completely obvious, the goal of "custom eventops" is to
+allow the user to include their own event processing system without requiring a 
+fork. This is accomplished through two parts. Firstly, by allowing the user to 
+redefine eventops. (for example, the user may wish to use epoll() exclusively). 
+Secondly, by allowing the user to include their own code to support a private
+eventop (note, this may not be necessary, as the user may choose to include 
+already defined eventop's.
