aria2 Windows build
===================
aria2 Windows build is provided in 2 flavors: 32bit version and 64bit
version. The executable was compiled using mingw-w64 cross compiler on
Debian Linux.
* gcc-mingw-w64 4.9.0-2+13
* binutils-mingw-w64-i686 2.24-2+3+b1
* binutils-mingw-w64-x86-64 2.24-2+3+b1
The executable is statically linked, so no extra DLLs are
necessary. The linked libraries are:
* gmp 6.0.0
* expat 2.1.0
* sqlite 3.8.8.2
* zlib 1.2.8
* c-ares 1.10.0 with the dns.patch [1] applied
* libssh2 1.5.0

This build has the following difference from the original release:
* 32bit version only: ``--disable-ipv6`` is enabled by default. (In
other words, IPv6 support is disabled by default).
Known Issues
------------
* When Ctrl-C is pressed, aria2 shows "Shutdown sequence
commencing... Press Ctrl-C again for emergency shutdown." But
mingw32 build cannot handle second Ctrl-C properly. The second
Ctrl-C just kills aria2 instantly without proper shutdown sequence
and you may lose data. So don't press Ctrl-C twice.
* --daemon option doesn't work.
* 32bit version only: When ``--disable-ipv6=false`` is given,
BitTorrent DHT may not work properly.
* 32bit version only: Most of the IPv6 functionality does not work
even if ``--disable-ipv6=false`` is given.
