I wonder how do you intend to implement missing POSIX functionality on 
Win32 plaftorm

For example on win32  close()  will not accepts socket handles  and 
select()  will not work on file handles, meaning
you'll need to reimplement basically whole I/O (open, close, read, 
write, seek, fstat, ioctl, fcntl) and socket API.
Then (if ffmpeg uses stdio) you'll need to reipmlement stdio too...


Am i missing something?
