[CLAM] building on windows.

[David García Garzón]

After having a lot of problems trying to have a reproducible VisualC 
environment, we dropped VC support in CLAM version 1.1, in favor of mingw. In 
fact, one of the reasons was that we were having problem with the static 
objects we use to intitialize processings factory. They should be working 
perfectly with wine. To my suprise you seem to have the same problem (not 
being able to create some processing types) with precompiled 1.1.0 version of 
the NetEditor available on the web which was already compiled with mingw.

We are currently moving to a new office. So we can not test the binaries to 
check what's happening. Just to be sure, try one of the latest svnsnapshots 
at: 
http://clam.iua.upf.edu/download/win/svnsnapshots/

I just tested the latest snapshot under wine (windows emulation under linux) 
and the creation of processing modules worked pretty well.

About the compilations errors you say, it is better that you copy and paste 
them so we can tell you something about them. If you did modifications to the 
source code to get it compiled we would be glad if you send them to the list. 

David.
