Yes, I'm thinking of having a new folder where the installers will go, and a
new link on the main binaries page near the tigris.org binary distribution
links for the win32 installer that points to the new folder. That way,
people can retrieve the separate apache bound binaries if they want from the
old locations, or just go straight for the new installer link that can
install either apache binding.
