I too posted a question about the windows build process, but without
the recipe, I just haven't found the time to dig into it myself.
(I created my virtual machine, but wasn't even sure what build tool
versions were preferred.)
I believe there are windows binaries generated by the windows build bots.
Not sure if the build bots run on the release branches for all platforms,
but that could probably be remedied. No idea if those binaries
are built in a compatible way to the previous release ones...
There was some discussion if some of the Apache infrastructure could
be used for the build. Not sure if that was resolved or pursued.
If I remember correctly, DJ's build machine completely died and is the
main reason he was unable to perform the build.
