I'd like to discuss it with anyone willing.  Joakim offered to help with
the installer and I can probably follow a build recipe to make the DLLs,
so practically it seems like we could do this.  I just want to make sure
I don't find out in a few days or weeks that the installer approach is
flawed for some obscure W32 reason, which Óscar sort of implied.

I think it makes sense to discuss approaches--I had not even thought of
the GnuTLS installer approach until we had this conversation.  Rushing
into development can be fun, but can also hide good ideas.
