It would bomb out and refuse to install after that.

I guess the assumption has been is that there will be some build
environment present, which is easy enough to ensure on Linux and
straightforward on OS X (they give you the disk!).  Windows people are
often compiler-phobic.  For Windows there is always an option to make
binary packages available, built against VC2005. (Getting a copy of
that is becoming ... interesting ;))
