for the record, I'd love to see a group of volunteers doing stuff like 
this for Windows.  there are plenty of volunteers that cover all major 
Linux/*BSD distributions (tons of thanks to everyone involved in this!), 
but as far as I can remember, nobody has ever volunteered to do the same 
for Windows.
