I haven't done any *extensive *testing on this Windows-build, but I'd
just like to confirm it unpacks and runs nicely for a few select
projects I have across various languages and third-party packages I use.
After fooling around a little, I still I haven't encountered any
noteworthy issues.
So here's at least 1 user calling in, having completed some rudimentary
smoke-testing. Which if nothing else, at least should be better than no
testing at all :)
