Why does a Windows version require building anyway? Building

for Linux people, because they love to hunt dependencies and

Windows you should be able to unzip an archive or use an

have two directories - include files and compiled .lib/.a/.dll
libraries
ready to include into your project. Trying to avoid it is just
trouble,
it takes a lot of time to compile any D library and even GDC
has no
binary releases, so that's another time spent on hunting libs.
The library usually needs to be rebuild when there is e new
conpiler release,
And a library build with one D compiler cant be used with any
of the other compilers.
Yea it's damn PITA
