Making the Windows binary build process automatic and robust is challenging
if you hate Windows (like I do). Martin also made the point that it's
been broken forever, so people don't seem to care :). ISTR Martin just
makes them manually.
It's on my TODO list to robustify this process.
OTOH, my Mac automated builds/tests are working just fine. I could produce
nightly binaries from those easily enough:

Just need to figure out the magic doohickey commands... will add to list.
