My attempts to port openconnect to windows (cygwin)

[Johannes Michler]

Hi,

unfortunately, I don't know too much on the details how tun/tap and
tun/tap on windows in special is working. I tried to ping my
openconnect-IP from another host, but there is no additional
log-activity on my openconnect-windows-client then :-(

If there is some documentation on the tun_mainloop I could try to dig
deeper into this, but I'm not very experienced in C-programming (being
a java/c#-developer :-)  ), so I think it would be easier if someone
who knows the openconnect-code would have a look at my provided
sources.


I tried to do a git diff, but I don't know how to include new files in
the diff, so you can get them by my last mail...


Best regards,
-orgler
