This is a relief. Thank you. I was rather worried for a while.
Providing binaries is a critical for CouchDB adoption on windows. And
the build should definitely be part of the release process, IMO.
Otherwise there's a risk of getting stuck in a chicken and egg
situation: crippling bugs -> don't release -> not enough users
complaining about the bugs -> nobody fixes the bugs.
Cheers!
