    Log Message:
    syncdrive: the Win32 / MSVC build

    build.bat configures CMake for Visual Studio 2022, builds Win32 Release,
    runs the unit tests and leaves the binary in build-msvc\Release; src/doors/build.bat gains syncdrive as a target. Win32 (x86) only, for the reason the sibling doors are: one Win32 binary serves a Win32 and a Win64 Synchronet host alike.

    Two spots in our own code stood between the door and MSVC: host_term.c
    reached strcasecmp through <strings.h>, and scores_lock.c opened the lock
    file through <fcntl.h>/<unistd.h>. Both now go through the xpdev wrappers
    -- stricmp() from genwrap.h, filewrap.h with O_BINARY and DEFFILEMODE,
    which is 0666 on *nix as the literal 0666 was. The vendored tdport/ engine needed nothing.

    libsndfile is a prerequisite for sound here rather than an optional tier:
    the PC-speaker PCM is generated in-process, but termgfx streams it to
    SyncTERM as Ogg/Opus, and without libsndfile that encoder is a stub and termgfx_stream_chunk_closed() drops every chunk -- a door that runs silent
    with no other symptom. build.bat points CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH at the classic
    vcpkg prefix and warns when it is absent; the configure warns too. No
    libjxl: this door serves the sixel tier only.

    The high-score lock test needs a second process contending for the lock
    and uses fork(), so it stays *nix only, and the Windows build does not
    cover scores_lock.c; the five pure tests run on both platforms.

    Just got this, built, installed, running great, now if I could just remember how I used to drive so great on this game :)

    dude, I've been loving these ports, I kinda figured one day we would be able to play Doom on the BBS, but Command and Conquer, all these EMUs and other games.. just wild man. I love em.

    Same! It's definitely a nice veer from the normal text based door games, although those are fun, too.

    Regards,
    Accession

    ... I'm sarcastic, what's your superpower?
