Making the Windows binary build process automatic and robust is challenging if you hate Windows (like I do). Martin also made the point that it's been broken forever, so people don't seem to care :). ISTR Martin just makes them manually.

That's true. In particular, people had been asking that the MSI installers are code-signed, which I now also do. I wouldn't like to keep the private key for the PSF code signing certificate available to some machine that is readily accessible from the internet - so at least that part is manual, in the sense that I have to provide my password.

Regards, Martin
