Most projects just put up the windows executable/installer. After all,
that's what most people want. If it is possible to cross compile that
from unix, it would seem ideal.

Not sure on the value of preconfigured source - anyone who wants to hack
it on windows is able to set up cygwin, and users certainly don't want
to compile on windows.

Cheers,
