Thanks from me, too! Although I don't have a copy of MS Visual

available, so I can't build rdiff-backup on Windows myself.
Is there no way to make the build process less dependent on this
piece of
closed-source software?
It's not dependent. VS2003 was only necessary at the start since
Python for Windows is compiled under the same tools and Josh
encountered some issues when using other compilers and linking against
the Windows file libraries (iirc). We have since worked around those
issues (and benefited from the workaround).
There was a report that rdiff-backup was successfully compiled under
MinGW earlier this month. If you create a build script for that
environment, it can be certainly be posted as well.
