rssync source code as a windows project

[Jignesh Shah]

Thanks for reply. Could you tell what do you mean by RTFM ctags and
cscope,??

Creating a new project I think it will have so many errors. We can do it
only if we know the complete code. If anybody or you have done then please
forward it to me.

Thanks,
Jignesh
