Yep,

I haven't actually compiled FITS support on windows before (I use linux
mostly), but yes, support needs to be compiled in.

Actually now I look at things, it's not obvious how to get FITS support
in windows - it doesn't seem to be referenced in the VC makefiles and
there's no makefile.vc in the frmts/fits directory.

If support for including FITS on windows is not already there. we'll
probably be adding it at some point. Alternatively I think you can
compile under cygwin using GNU make and gcc.
