On the other hand we might be receiving bug reports just because there 
are more users if we supply a prebuildt binary on MS Windows. It might 
be more important.

It would be very nice if there were un official prebuilt binary package 
for MS Windows. Of course mistakes could happen there too, but I think 
they will be sorted out rather quickly.

In the case of the EmacsW32 distros I actually think the same though 
they do not have any official status of course.
