This document is split into 4 sections:

• setup for building QPID M4 on Windows. This includes
  obtaining sources, supporting technologies, installation
  and configuration of the build environment.

• building QPID M4 on Windows.

• running the Linux test suites against the Windows QPID
  broker.

• building the tests on a Windows system.

These notes are intended to highlight issues discovered during the build and
testing of QPID on Windows. It's a work in progress.
