[DGD] Gurbalib resurrection, followup

[bart at wotf.org]

Well, I believe DGD compiles on windows with visual c++ 6 or later, so that
shouldn't be a problem. Also, the file/dir naming issues are solved in one way
or another already in the unpatched driver. 

The issue is that host/win32/connect.c will have to be changed for use with
the network package. Currently, it very likely won't compile on windows at all
after adding the network package, and if it does, the networking package won't
work, and probably the entire thing won't work.

I have a good idea of what needs to happen there, but neither the development
tools, testing environment or windows knowledge to do this myself (and no,
downloading visual studio express isn't going to fix that because I would
still need a windows machine to run it on, which I simply do not have). 

Bart.
