Hello list, my ports post.

I'm on Windows and have little interest in installing
IPFire or do any Linux related. But the 'libloc'
library caught my interest. So I did a port to
MSVC, MinGW and clang-cl (x86 only) in a hurry.

Running all the 'test-*' programs, it worked seemingly
well. Until I built the Python3 module and played with
e.g. 'location dump' and 'verify'. Nothing worked :-(
So I reckon the .db file is hosed somehow. AFAICS, it's
not an issue with structure packing or 'fopen(path, "r")'.

Anyway, I want to regenerate 'database.db' from 'database.txt'
'countries.txt' and the 'override' files myself. But how?

According to the git log at:
   git://git.ipfire.org/location/location-database.git

there once was a 'compile-database' script. Not now.
