[wg-windows] OPAM branch?

[Thomas Braibant]

Hi

There has been some recent questions about the status of OPAM on Windows.

https://github.com/ocaml/opam/issues/2192
https://github.com/ocaml/opam/issues/2191

and some work done trying to port OPAM

https://github.com/ocaml/opam/issues/246#issuecomment-85543210

I have not found any public branch of OPAM on the subject. If there is not,
it might be worth making one somewhere to try to work in that direction. If
someone with a deeper understanding of OPAM internals than myself has some
ideas about what are the concrete steps in that direction, I would be very
happy to contribute working on this, rather than hacking through OPAM.

I might be mistaken, but from the various posts so far, I think that we
concur to say that having OPAM working under Cygwin (with a native Win32
port) is the first step toward improving the status of OCaml on Windows.

Best,
Thomas
