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
