Two windows questions

I know these are going to seem stupid questions, but please humor me and
answer anyway.

1. I'm wanting to run Pound in front of Plone (Zope CMF), ALL on one
Windows server. One thing I was hoping to do was use Pound to do the
HTTPS connections and translate to backend Plone server/s. Although the
HTTPS seems simple in setup on readme, the part I don't understand is if
I need to rebuild my Zope with OpenSSL to have HTTPS? 

It seems like the Pound will  take care of all HTTPS translations
between browser and itself, then I just use the Z2.py scripts, included
with Pound, to startup Zope/Plone server. I don't know if I actually
have to recompile my Zope install to include openssl.

2. Compile on Windows? I kow this all works great on UNIX, but was
wondering if someone could maybe provide me with pre-compiled binaries
for Windows? Doing compile on Unix with gnucc, always seems to work
great when I have to. (Mostly because people like you write good make
files.) However I have not done any C compile on Windows and not feeling
great about getting pound correct. I was hoping maybe someone would send
me some pre-compiled versions. I'm running windows 2003 server, if
version matters

Lastly, before everyone tells me switch back to Unix, let me say it is
not going to happen. My new job the shop is all Novell or Windows. I got
them to go with Zope/Plone on windows. We need HTTPS and I wanted
multiple ZEO servers running. My thought was meet two goals in one with
Pound in front of everything.

Thanks,
Steven

No.

Pound compiles without problem with a minimal install of Cygwin,
a 'standalone' installation only requires those files:

30.09.03  16:51           861'696 cygcrypto-0.9.7.dll
30.09.03  16:51           174'592 cygssl-0.9.7.dll
20.09.03  20:32           971'618 cygwin1.dll
15.11.03  18:53               481 pound.cfg
15.11.03  19:11                55 pound.cmd
15.11.03  18:23            56'320 pound.exe
14.10.03  08:37            26'990 README.txt

I'll send you the installer in a separate mail (842kb), its still
at version 1.5 and wont be updated since I have no reason/use for.

Since you choose to run the shop on windows take it like a man ;)
