Do you mean that you have checked it out directly from cvs? I would
recommend that (we have some more patches and new features coming up soon
and Bob Racko has been working on some NT problems as well). Instructions
are at

	http://www.w3.org/Library/cvs.html

I haven't compiled as a static library for a long time on NT, but have you
defined these env variables:

	WWW_WIN_ASYNC
	_WINDOWS

You shouldn't have to actually modify the code - compiling as DLLs it runs
out of the box (at my box, that is).

Again, I would very much like to get some better make files for windows. If
anyone have 1) ideas and 2) time to help working on it then I would be
delighted. As a hint, please read this page for how to help developing libwww:
