Indeed, compiled code in a project basically forces you to have a windows developer in the team who can build the binary installers. These days with vmware/qemu it's not the end of the world (it can be done in a normal computer running linux/osx) but it's still a pain for most of us, no doubt about it. Again, I was just trying to provide context. From where I stand, I'm cheering as hard as I can for you guys to succeed.
