I offered to do it, setting up a BuildBot so I don't have to do it manually every time. I will obviously make it run the tests and if it fails, it will not deliver the DLLs. Do you have a better proposal (e.g. you want to be in charge of the builds or you know volunteers who want to do it)? I'm certainly not looking for more work for myself, but it seems no one else wants to automate this. The fact that the GnuTLS developers don't support W32 well is partly due to the lack of binary builds for that platform. I think things will improve as up-to-date DLLs become available.

I think it would be a courtesy to the users. I know where to find the URL, but many users won't. Ted
