[Tile-serving] [osm2pgsql] Providing Windows binaries/packages (#17)

[martin-s]

OK, beside from the planet import, there is the fork mechanism which isn't supported on native windows platform. The next step would be to provide an alternative for windows user, so that performance should be identical to linux platform ;-)
A possible candidate could be OpenMP: http://openmp.org/wp/openmp-compilers/ which should be too intrusive. I don't know yet how compatible it is concerning process (fork) vs. thread (omp) execution. Example with define flag:
#pragma omp parallel for
for (i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
  a[i]= 2 * i;
}
In long term threading mechanism should be replaced by a platform independent solution.

I know this topic is already well-known, but maybe we'll get to a point where a change is possible.
