The ISC seems to provide BIND source code[*] and binaries for Windows, though I'm not sure how well they could fit into a typical development environment for git's MinGW port. A good approach for drand48 is harder to imagine, mostly because there are too many choices for a free PRNG to use to replace it. Not a bad problem to have. ;-)

Though all of that would only come up once someone wants to use features requiring these facilities on Windows. Thanks for the hints and sorry for the distraction.

Ciao, Jonathan
