For windows, for sexplib and mikmatch_*str*, I do the preprocessing on
linux[1] and put everything in a git branch which I then access on
windows (I also love gitweb's ability to generate a tarball of the
source :-) ).

It also avoids the need to have a working camlp* on windows (msys).

It doesn't work for mikmatch_pcre because it requires an additional
library (for the "macro" feature) but it's been quite handy so far.
Most credits for the script go to Julien Moutinho.
