Thanks for considering it further - much appreciated.

I should point out that there's obviously nothing blocking for me, so 
I'm fine with any delay.

I wouldn't mind, and that is something I have done before with libcdio 
-- sadly that effort was stopped short of adding full Visual Studio 
support (i.e. with with project files), but at least now the libcdio 
codebase is fully compatible with MS compilers. My only issue is that 
I'm very busy with various projects, so time constraints are a major factor.

Still, I have been benefiting greatly from GRUB and I do have additional 
MSVC compatibility patches, especially the ones that have to do struct 
packing, that I wouldn't mind seeing integrated in the source. So if it 
can help, I'll see if I can take a stab at providing MSVC support for 
the whole project. Overall, short of very specific quirks, I haven't 
found much in the way of compiling the GRUB code with MSVC, so maybe the 
effort required won't be that bad...
I'll keep you posted.
