I'd be surprised if he accepted a patch that added a dep; Salvatore seems allergic to deps (something I like about Redis).

(on a mobile and fat-fingered a downvote, sorry)

I wouldn't expect anyone to accept the patch in this state, but I hope that the "who cares about Windows" attitude dies and a dialog to get proper support into redis is started.

It's a shame that we're using an unofficial version on that platform right now.

You don't have to have a "who cares about Windows?" attitude to write programs that don't work on Windows; all you have to have is a "want to make the best use of Unix" attitude.
