It would be good to be consistent on Windows with what is now done on other platforms: those modules should not be installed by default, but it would be good to make install.pm a bit smarter with for example an option "full", aka install server + client + test modules. Building them is worth it in any case as they can be used with modulescheck. My 2c. -- Michael
