I believe there's a couple of things we all sort of agree on:
* current state is not welcomed by users and "early" adopters
* we (the ASF) should provide an official Windows Build
* That's a big task, so we should start with small steps:
* Getting the damn thing to build with the latest VC
* Getting it to build without babysitting
* using that build to create something that can be installed
one way or another: zip, msi, whatevz
* (semi) automating the build
This effort doesn't have to be driven by a single person.
Particularly because the single steps may require different kinds
of skills and talents. (Speaking with my OpenCSW Hat on: Building
software for a "non standard" platform is boring and frustrating ;)
So long,
