Ok,
Found out what I was suppose to mail you about:
It does not build on windows;

epmd_srv.o : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol IN6_ARE_ADDR_EQUAL referenced in function conn_local_peer_check
epmd_srv.o : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol IN6_IS_ADDR_LOOPBACK referenced in function conn_local_peer_check
****/bin/win32/epmd.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved externals
