Question for the gamers

OK thus far the biggest problems in getting openSSN to compile under MSVC are its use of non-standard C functions.

The biggest offenders are strcasestr and snprintf. They're not in the C89 standard (which MSVC uses). I'm working around them at the moment with macros.

The other offender is "unistd.h" which is a unix-only header file. I've gotten around this with #ifndef WIN32..#endif preventing the compiler from attempting to include the header. MSVC supports the types defined in it natively.
