It would not suffice to ship them, one would also need to build them.
Kind of back to square one.

        For windows - shipping a pre-canned set of compiled compatibility
libraries doesn't look too disgusting to me; at least - it seems a lot
less disgusting than using MSVC++ and cygwin :-)

        tar xf ure-bincompat-win32-tgz

        is not in itself such a horrific outcome from a cross-compiled solution
(assuming the build of that is well documented, should you happen to
have lots of time and a proprietary system + compiler to do it). Clearly
someone needs to build them once.

There will invariably be situations were things in there will need to get fixed. And if that code is only built once in a year, it will bitrot and no longer build in a year from now.

Been there with moz_prebuilt.  No thanks.  :)
