pmcd pmda on windows

[Stephen Przepiora <sprzepiora@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello, I have noticed the pmcd pmda does not compile on windows and
looked into it a little and found out it is because windows does not
allow undefined references at compile time in shared libraries.
Whereas in other os's the linker will patch everything up nice at
runtime.

While searching for a workaround, I came across this page:
http://www.mail-archive.com/cygwin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg16806.html

Which gives two work arounds:

1. Put the common symbols in a dll and link pmcd.exe and pmda_pmcd.dll
to the new dll.

2. Add a function to pmda_pmcd.dll and pass in pointers to the data:
pmda_pmcd.dll
 int * ext_data;
 void set_ext_data(int * c) {ext_data = c};
In dll, use *ext_data.

pmcd.exe
 int data;
 set_ext_data(&data);
in client, use data.

Is any work being done on this?
