I will gladly do that, as soon as BinDeps allows me to use the resulting 
binaries without this 
mess: https://github.com/juliaopt/GLPK.jl/blob/master/deps/build.jl#L39

BinDeps (and the Julia package manager in general) is currently very poorly 
equipped to handle simultaneous multi-arch binary package installations, 
even when multiple binaries are combined into the same download. Until 
there's a solution for that, I'm going to do what's easiest.

For libgit, it helps if a Unix version BinDeps is already set up, so I can 
have a go with MinGW which is what I'm much more comfortable with. Last I 
checked, Visual Studio binaries require users to install runtime 
redistributables and such.
