I think I should clean them up and get them upstream. Regarding the uid_t issue: IIRC there is no numeric user ID on Windows, so all uid_t related code is basically a noop on Windows. What's missing here is the definition of the uid_t type, this is fixed in my patches. There are some other issues on Windows that I also fixed already. I think I can get the fixes upstream this week.
