I know there is a smiley there, but hey, its easier for me to
make everyone compile it from sources. However, if you try it,
you'll find out that:

  a) the process is much more onerous under win32 than Linux/*NIX
  b) you'll need Microsoft tools to finish the job, even though
     cygwin is used as much as possible.

So there! ;-)
