Hi all,

Sorry for the delay but I have been out for the last four
days.

I will modify the next package to add Dave's Win32 definitions
to swish.h (and remove the others from the files).

I also think that stricmp is the equivalent to strcasecmp.
But a more accurate function is needed to handle non
a-z characters (like german umlauts) and also a more accurate
tolower function to index non ascii chars.

At this point, I am making a little rework on memory managment
and trying to fix problems with non-ascii characters (as
pointed by Rainer Scherg).
Aditionally, I do not like how expandstar works because
the search is computed twice:
1) One for obtaining a lists of words: 'b*' is translated into 
'(back or bat or ...)'
2) Another one to compute the big "or" list.
I think it would be faster if we make both things
simoultaneously. In this way we do not have to access the
disk twice.
