yes, the old r.li.* daemon/worker system required unix sockets, and
so would only work in the cygwin build. We never figured out how to
properly support those natively on MS Windows. I believe in the new
backported version of r.li those things are all removed now so it could
have the conditional removed from the Makefile and the modules tested
in a nightly WinGrass build. If it works I'd suggest a setup_6.4.4-2.exe
release be prepared with an altered Makefile. The source code isn't
touched so it wouldn't introduce any platform dependent behavior which
would need a new point release, instead it would only reduce platform
differences.

that's all of us; especially big jobs need many testers to check
all angles.

Thought I should join the Yahoo mail diaspora before 30 days
worth of my emails got flushed from everyone's spam boxes never
to be seen again. In the last weeks some have made it to the ML
archives at least, if not to end recipients. Others seem to have
just disappeared into /dev/null. It didn't help that the web
interface had become an unusable gibberish of broken JavaScript
and their IMAP would only transfer the oldest 4% of my inbox.
