Hi Michael,

Now that release 4.0.3.0 of x2goclient is out, 
I attach my proposed changes and comment on each one:

1. conform-to-stricter-type-checking-mingw482.patch

Even mingw's debug build complains about this char * 
not having been declared as ought to be (const char *) 
and suggests using -fpermissive (not recommended).

2. conform-to-stricter-type-checking-VS2010.patch

a. A type-cast to match one of pow's declarations {float pow(float x, int y);}
b. In pure Windows there's no close() function to close a socket. 
   So you have to use closesocket() instead.
c. Include winsock2.h just before windows.h (also recommended by mingw).

3. add-libraries-to-build-with-VS2010.patch

a. A new batch file to configure x2goclient for VS2010 build (config_win_vs.bat). 
I have just substituted nmake for mingw32-make. 
Please remember to also use 'nmake' or 'nmake debug' when building.
b. Added necessary win32 libraries.

George
