building on MSYS2

[totaam]

Hi,

I've managed to build and install winloop on MSYS2 with just a few patches.
I am not submitting PRs yet because they're way too hackish - and I'm not even sure that they work properly! (is uv_pipe_open used in regular operation with UDP sockets for example? if not, then I haven't tested it)

I was hoping that you could suggest how best to implement this properly instead.

See:

• totaam@6dd9a28

Should you wish to test, just run the MSYS2 installer then you can run python ./setup.py build from a mingw shell.

Not sure but this sounds exciting. You'll have to figure out what flags to use in order to invoke to compile with mingw or msvc since some people prefer msvc over mingw or vice versa but long as your able to accommodate for both compile I'll accept your upcoming pull request. If you are willing I am always willing to help since I had to do a lot of hacking just to make uvloop work on windows. And with 0.2.0 coming around I have to do more of it so that many slower areas are no longer present.

@totaam One Idea I have is to use the sys platform flag to make your idea work on both msvc / mingw I'll send you a pull request with those changes and then I can help you merge but you've given me an idea.

@totaam Figured out I won't be able to fork but what I can do is when you've opened your pull request I will be able to give you suggestions and offer small code-changes. Incase your not sure if it's ready you can always draft it.

Sure thing, here's a draft PR: #60

@totaam I'll close this issue for now if something new comes up feel free to let me know and I'll see what I can do. I want to thank you for contributing to this project.
