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.
