* Description
  In Windows, VSS (Volume Shadow Copy Service) provides a facility to
  quiesce filesystems and applications before disk snapshots are taken.
  This patch series implements "fsfreeze" command of qemu-ga using VSS.


* How to build & run qemu-ga with VSS support

 - Download Microsoft VSS SDK from:
   http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=23490

 - Setup the SDK
   scripts/extract-vsssdk-headers setup.exe (on POSIX-systems)

 - Specify installed SDK directory to configure option as:
   ./configure -with-vss-sdk="path/to/VSS SDK" --cross-prefix=i686-w64-mingw32-

 - make qemu-ga.exe qga/vss-win32-provider/qga-provider.{dll,tlb}
   (From this version, .dll/.tlb must be explicitly specified.)

 - Install qemu-ga.exe, qga/vss-win32-provider/qga-provider.{dll,tlb}, and
   the other required mingw libraries into the same directory in guests

 - Run `qemu-ga.exe -s install' and `net start qemu-ga' in the guests

Any feedback are appreciated.
