Guidelines
-----------
To prevent any regressions in main and to enable easier review of the changes coming from win32-fork, there will be no "main" code moving or refactoring in win32-fork. There are multiple places where platform abstraction makes sense (auth, console to name a few), but this wont be addressed in the fork as it would lead to significant code churn. This will be done post integration once we have stable Windows supported version with significant test coverage living in main repo. Crypto support using Windows [CNG](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa376210(v=vs.85).aspx) has been tested out in win32-fork but since it needed reasonable modifications to original code, relevant changes will be reverted\undone. This means that the Windows supported version potentially available mid this year will rely on OpenSSL's crypto (exception is SSP for key-based authentication that will use CNG - more details later).
