All,

Some may recall in the fall I posted a link to a beta windows installer.
I'm happy to report that I'm releasing new versions today for the 3.7.9.2
release, compatible with Windows 7/8/10.  All dependencies are included,
and all are built natively using MSVC 2015, no Cygwin or MinGW required.
It's about a 300MB package download.

I've also refactored the entire build process used to make the msi's and
gotten it down to a series of Powershell scripts that can either:
1- Build the entire GNURadio windows dependency chain from source and then
build GNURadio itself.
2- Download a prebuilt "dependency pack" as binaries and then
build GNURadio and a couple OOT modules

The binaries (for both GR and the dependencies) can be found at
http://www.gcndevelopment.com/gnuradio.  The scripts themselves are hosted
at http://github.com/gnieboer/gnuradio_windows_build_scripts.  While the
binaries have no dependencies, the build scripts have several, but all
mandatory dependencies are free to install.  The various patches required
to make everything build on Win32/MSVC are either workarounds built into
the scripts, patches downloadable on the website, or forked repos on my
github account.  For the most part pull requests have been submitted
upstream.

All GR components except gr-comedi are installed, and several OOT blocks
are also included by default, including UHD 3.9.3, gr-fosphor,
and gr-osmosdr with most drivers.  The windows audio sink has also been
refactored to double buffer to avoid the skipping others have reported.

It uses OpenBLAS for numpy/scipy to stay GPLv3 compliant...users can
replace it with an MKL-based version as a wheel from the downloads page
should more performance be desired.

More information is available on the website.  I hope both the binaries and
scripts are useful and look forward to feedback.

Geof
