1.1     ! tomglok     1:
        !             2:                      ngIRCd - Next Generation IRC Server
        !             3:                            http://ngircd.barton.de/
        !             4:
        !             5:                (c)2001-2012 Alexander Barton and Contributors.
        !             6:                ngIRCd is free software and published under the
        !             7:                    terms of the GNU General Public License.
        !             8:
        !             9:                          -- README-Interix.txt --
        !            10:
        !            11:
        !            12: ngIRCd release 15 has successfully been tested on Microsoft Windows XP
        !            13: Professional using the Services for UNIX (SFU) version 3.5 and Microsoft
        !            14: Windows 7 with the bundled Subsystem for UNIX Applications (SUA).
        !            15:
        !            16: SFU are supported on Windows 2000, Windows 2000 Server, Windows XP, and
        !            17: Windows Server 2003. SUA is supported on Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows
        !            18: Server 2008 & 2008 R2, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 -- so ngIRCd should be
        !            19: able to run on all of these platforms.
        !            20:
        !            21: But please note that two things:
        !            22:
        !            23: 1. Don't use the poll() IO API
        !            24:
        !            25: The poll() API function is not fully implemented by SFU/SUA and therefore
        !            26: can't be used by ngIRCd -- which normally would be the default. Please see
        !            27: <http://www.suacommunity.com/faqs.aspx> section 4.25 for details:
        !            28:
        !            29:   "If you do try to use the poll() API your program will block on the
        !            30:   API call forever. You must direct your program to build using the
        !            31:   select() API."
        !            32:
        !            33: So when running the ./configure script, you HAVE TO DISABLE poll() support:
        !            34:
        !            35:   ./configure --without-poll
        !            36:
        !            37: ngIRCd then defaults to using the select() API function which works fine.
        !            38:
        !            39: 2. Use GNU make(1)
        !            40:
        !            41: Starting with ngIRCd 18, our build system doesn't work with the default
        !            42: make(1) binary of Interix, you should use GNU make instead (tested with
        !            43: version 3.82 built from source).
        !            44:
