AFAICT, there is no need to check in the binary into revision control.
Instead, the Windows build process should create, package, and deploy
them, and venv should then just expect that they are there.

So I request that this checkin is reverted, preferably before the alpha
release.

I also agree with the fundamental principle that an open source project
should never ever include binaries for which it doesn't also provide
source code. If you cannot release the sources right now, do not release
the binaries either.
