Hi Alin,

Thanks, I was going to ping you and paul_boca after the IRC meeting
today about that patch, but missed you both. I'll be traveling
tomorrow, so my responses might be somewhat delayed.

Initially I tried using 2015, but ran into multiple compilation issues
(the first due to a type collision in pthread.h, easily fixed, I don't
recall what I ran into next), then 2013, which compiled and built with
no issues.  However, when I tried to run the tests I saw a series
of "entry point not found" pop-ups.  Turns out OVS uses
GetSystemTimePreciseAsFileTime(), which isn't supported on Windows 7
(it's only available on Windows 8 and 10). Updating to Windows 10 on
the laptop I was using isn't an option (as I found out the hard way)
because the manufacturer hasn't released display drivers for Windows 10.

Anyway, thanks for asking but I'm unlikely to pursue it any further
(mainly due to a lack of time and lack of the right equipment).

Regards,

   Lance
