You're right, doing a prerelease is a good solution.
Building the Windows installer is probably the easist part. It has only
changed slightly from the 0.21 release, and so it's mostly just a matter
of hitting "build". Unless of course I decide to switch from NSIS to WiX
or something that produces MSI files.
The Debian installer should be a bit less of a pain than it has been in
the past, simply because the turnaround time to build and test a package
is much, much shorter on my new dev box. I have things configured here so
I should be able to build both ia32 and amd64 packages.
It's mostly the fact that the whole entire process is the sum of many
little things, each of which don't take up that much time but as a whole
can take up weeks if it's just me doing it. I'd certainly appreciate some
help this time around :-)

That way both developers and most non-developer users will be able to get
started using the release first, and critical bugfixes can go in before
spending lots of time on polishing the manual and working on the linux binary
packages.
