I have noticed that there were some directories missing in the msvc
tree. Namely, msvc/gc, msvc/gc/private, msvc/c/ecl, did not get
committed to CVS. Besides, src/c/alloc_2.d had a wrong definition to a C
macro THREADS which is now called ECL_THREADS.

I have fixed both things in CVS. Now all my machines can build ECL from
the developers CVS tree, including MSVC + THREADS. However, for this I
had to tweak src/c/tcp.d because it used winsock2.h, which in the free
version lacked some of the definitions used there. Furthermore, that
code assumed "errno" is a variable, which is not the case in the
multithreaded version.

I will download ECL from Sourceforge later on using the anonymous CVS
and report here whether I see differences with it.

I am sorry for the inconvenience.

Regards

Juanjo
