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

[apmon]

Osm2pgsql uses a lot of static variables, which makes it thread-unsafe. That was the reason to use forks rather than threads. In the threading branch, I think I got rid of all/most of the static variables making it possible to use threads instead of forks, but that code isn't merged yet.

As Paul sais, the best way is probably to wait for the much cleaner C++ rewrite done by MQ and then figure out how to port the parallelization code over to windows based on that.
