This project has begun being ported to Windows.  A working solution
file exists in this directory:
    google-perftools.sln

You can load this solution file into either VC++ 7.1 (Visual Studio
2003) or VC++ 8.0 (Visual Studio 2005) -- in the latter case, it will
automatically convert the files to the latest format for you.

When you build the solution, it will create a number of unittests,
which you can run by hand (or, more easily, under the Visual Studio
debugger) to make sure everything is working properly on your system.
The binaries will end up in a directory called "debug" or "release" in
the top-level directory (next to the .sln file).

Note that these systems are set to build in Debug mode by default.
You may want to change them to Release mode.

To use tcmalloc_minimal in your own projects, you should only need to
build the dll and install it someplace, so you can link it into
further binaries.  No .h files are needed for the basic use case.
However, this code should still be considered EXPERIMENTAL.

I have little experience with Windows programming, so there may be
better ways to set this up than I've done!  If you run across any
problems, please post to the google-perftools Google Group, or report
them on the google-perftools Google Code site:
