FYI: I have invested quite some time into getting Inkscape to compile on Windows using CMake. My changes are available in this branch: http://launchpad.net/~faubulous/inkscape/cmake-win32

Five weeks ago I proposed a merge of the branch into trunk. However, that never happend. The version in this repository should compile just fine using 64-bit and 32-bit. There's two remaining issues which I did not manage to solve:

1. Inkscape crashes when trying to load locales (serious issue. Did not find a solution in weeks. May be some gettext expert does know whats going on.).
2. The app icon does not get compiled in (Minor issue. RC file needs to be compiled into executable instead of libinkscape_base).

In order to compile it, just edit configure.bat to set your environment variables and build type. Run 'configure.bat' and then 'mingw32-make install -j X'.

Send me the list of changes that need to be made to support that.

What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you? Monitors network bandwidth and traffic
patterns at an interface-level. Reveals which users, apps, and protocols are
consuming the most bandwidth. Provides multi-vendor support for NetFlow,
J-Flow, sFlow and other flows. Make informed decisions using capacity
planning reports. https://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/305295220;132659582;e
