Just that I have no idea where to find the information. I could of 
course read the manual, learn everything about CVS, but for the little 
thing I am asking about it I hoped for cooperation.

I have thought about it, but my conclusion is that I should not. I might 
be wrong.

What I believe is that after the release there will be binaries for w32 
avaliable from the ftp site where the tarballs are. Is not that correct? 
Why not make those now then? Or do you mean help is needed with that?
