Great idea for prototyping. Just keep in mind performance suffers
quite a bit for view index time on VM vs. real. Not sure if you were
planning on running in production that way, but wouldn't recommend
it.
OTOH using Windows in production for a server isn't the easiest,
cheapest nor safest thing to do anyway.
So developping on a VMWare image, (perhaps it's even wiser to go with
a server, console-only version).
The idea here is not to provide something for a production system.
There are folks who are on Windows and actually do like it or can't
switch for whatever reason and a native build would be the least
possible hassle for these to try out CouchDB.
Frankly, if somebody would come and say "Install Windows[1] in
VMware and then try our awesome project", I would pass.
In my opinion, a native Windows build has its value and it would
be nice if somebody could pull it together.

Adding bonus-effects: you can throw the whole server configuration in
source-control ;-)
When releasing producting ready version you just release the whole
server image ready to deploy.
I use linux as a desktop, but i too am using virtualized images, that
I deploy when ready.
It depends on the sort of project, but if you need to things like
automatically convert certain uploaded file-types, etc. having the
whole server and installed programs under source-control really is the
way to go.

Has anyone got CouchDB successfully built on Windows? I feel

asking this but for better or worse Windows is what I know.
On the
other hand, the abiliy to get it going easily on Windows would
open it
up to a whole new audience to try out.
I have tried following the directions posted here
http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/InstallingOnWindows, but I
can't seem
to find binaries for SpiderMonkey anywhere on the Mozilla
site, nor
have I had any luck compiling it from source (the *.mdp file
is too
old to open in Visual Studio and NMAKE craps out with some
unintelliglible error).
I have also searched the archives of this mailing list but
haven't
come across anything relevant. Any ideas would be a great help.
