= OpenCFLite project and file changes =
* CFNetTest\CFTest\win_vs\pre_build.bat; Change VS vars path to call "%VS90COMNTOOLS%\..\..\VC\vcvarsall.bat"
* CFTest.vcproj - change QuickTime libraries path in Linker to $(SolutionDir)..\..\kJams\External\QuickTime SDK\Libraries
* Add explicit direction __WIN32__ to PreprocessorDefinitions so that VS2008 properly reflects disabled code
* mDNSResponder support (dns-sd)
** Add mDNSResponder folder to the include path to OpenCFLite project;
** Add lib file to linker configuration $(ProjectDir)..\..\mDNSResponder\lib\dnssd.lib
=== File modifications ===
* CFBase.h - make typedef for Boolean type available to WINDOWS target
** Line added to CFBase.h - "typedef unsigned char Boolean;
* CFRuntime.c - Added two new functions for socket initialization (WinSock requires startup code)
** Added __CFSocketInitialize
** Added __CFSocketInitializeWinSock
* Socket initialization is added to __CFInitialize
** CFSocket ensures initialization on creation. However this is needed so that any other code could reference WinSock API (Ex: AddressLookup)
* CFSocketStream.c  - instead of the default need to use the code in CFNetwork (NOTE: This file needs to be references in includes)
* CFUrlAccess.c - merge in new functionality from _CFUrlAccess.c available in CFNetwork distribution
** Added _CFHTTPMessageSendRequest
** Added _CFURLCreateDataAndPropertiesFromResource
** Added _CFURLWriteDataAndPropertiesToResource
** Added _CFURLDestroyResource
* Add support for HTTP URL into the existing function CFURLCreateDataAndPropertiesFromResource
* ForFoundationOnly.h - added HTTP cleanup routines
= External libraries changes =
* QuickTime ConditionalMacros.h issue fix:
** the file is available in both QuickTime and OpenCFLite, which makes it confusing for the compiler
** if it uses the wrong file,  CFTest compilation fails with ~100 errors
** To fix this, change includes <ConditionalMacroh.h> to "ConditionalMacros.h" (File MacTypes.h)
= Porting CFNetwork to VS complier =
First import thing to note is compiler differences on difference platforms - Visual Studio 2008 supports C90 standard. A newer complier was used to develop CFNetwork. Hence the most important differences:
* All variable definitions must be placed at the beginning of each scope (otherwise it fails with "illegal type as an expression" errors)
* C90 allows structure initialization only by compile time constants (no pointers or even constants pointers to constant data)
* inline support - Visual studio uses keyword __inline (double underscore is required)
* Visual Studio compiler does not allow double class storage specifier such as "static static int var"
