+Help port <a

+Windows. 1) handle spaces in path names and understand the filesystem
+namespace &mdash; namespace meaning where application data, personal data,
+and program data typically reside in various versions of Windows. 2) the
+ability to handle ipv6 communications. 3) the ability to asynchronously
+query name servers, find the system nameservers, and manage netbios
+and dns queries. 4) use native regex capabilities of Windows, rather
+than using 3rd party GNU regex libraries. 5) manage events and buffers
+natively (i.e. in Unix-like OSes, Polipo defaults to 25% of ram, in
+Windows it's whatever the config specifies). 6) some sort of GUI config
+and reporting tool, bonus if it has a systray icon with right clickable
+menu options. Double bonus if it's cross-platform compatible.
