I wasn't saying "we shouldn't do it", I was saying that "at this point in the development cycle we aren't doing it." I have neither the authority nor the knowledge to set that kind of policy.
Translation: if Dan doesn't say otherwise, go ahead--it's not my call anyway. :^)
Dan is usually very happy when people volunteer to do things. I would expect everyone would be happy if someone built a Win32 distro. All that would be required of it is to pass the same set of tests as the reference compile, if there is one.
And this would be one of those cases. :) I'd be happy if someone with a Win32 box could make regular snapshot builds. (If I had a spare x86 box I would, but alas I don't) There certainly are enough people who'd like to play with Parrot but not mess around with C and, while that's possible on most Unix platforms (since you get a C compiler whether you like it or not) it isn't on Windows.
If someone wanted to take a look at the "make install" target as they did this (yes, we do have one :) to make sure that what it provides is sufficient, well, that'd be cool too.
