Managed to install under windows (but challenging)

Hi,

I managed to install djangoBB under windows but was challenging. The most challenging was finding a windows installer for Xapian C++ library. The version I am using is perhaps older than is ideal but doesn't seem to have any affect on the searching. ( I think it is version 1.0.6 and I think Xapian is up to version 1.0.17 but I haven't noticed it break anything with respect to the searching ).

However, did notice a glitch with respect to uploading files. Seems to work on linux but under windows it corrupts the uploaded attachment so is all a bit strange. Because the problem is in the middleware I have not been able to find out the source of the problem. Not sure how to debug middleware as all debugging output is swallowed it seems but that is due to my lack of knowledge in debugging middleware rather than djangobb just as such.

Any obvious reasons why attachment uploading should not work under windows?
