windows installation

[Richard Fillion]

Hi,

I've been following GNUstep for a while now (mostly from IRC as 'rhix')
but since I code for Cocoa I haven't had much use for GS.  Now I'm at work
and have a lot of downtime so I thought it'd be fun to install GS at work
and do a bit of code.

As the subject line says... I use windows at work (not by choice, I assure
you).  Someone on IRC said there were "perfect instructions" to installing
GS on windows on the gnustep wiki.  I found them no problem, then got to
this line:

 Download gnustep using cvs

I don't know what else to say here except "You've gotta be f'ing shitting
me".  I'm a proficient coder, and know how to go and fetch stuff off of
CVS, that's not the problem.  I can technically do that step, but the fact
of the matter is I shouldn't have to.  I refuse to build software for
windows.  Same (for the most part) for OS X.  It's just not something I
do.  If someone wants me as a user, they'll provide me the binaries so
that I can install it in a few minutes.

It all comes down to knowing your target.  When in rome, do as the romans.
 Deb packages are created for debian, cause that's what debian users want.
