Just some food for thought. Some of these development builds could be compiled into a exe install package once in a while and made available from the sourceforge site or maybe a link from the WSJT home page or wsjtx.net for those who want to try the new mode but are intimidated at installing JTSDK and building their own. If you make it available from an "official" site, maybe it will discourage 3rd party users of doing it on their own.
