I honestly have no clue at all how windows packaging is done. What I 
would expect as a user or developer is thought that all binaries, 
dll/libs and header files are installed so I can start developing with it.

Vincent said he is in contact with him. Maybe reach out to him if the 
are plans for a new release?

If the path with win builds does not work out we could host the windows 
binaries next to our source tarballs. Only for releases thought.

Before anyone screams Jenkins here. I will only consider new things it 
handles when its current problems are sorted and we have a longer period 
of stable usage.

We had cross builds for efl with mingw for some time but the cross build 
slave started crashing and after this dragged out for over a year I 
disabled the mingw builds.
