Makes sense. Regardless... You might try my old patch that produces a tarball of MS binaries, found here: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.network.openvpn.devel/2578 It never got applied, partly because it needed supporting documentation and the accompanying patch to update the website failed to apply by the time anybody got around to looking at the patch. because by then the website was reorganized. Even if it does apply, it should have supporting documentation before being accepted into the tree. I can't say if it's easier to poke about the old thread to come up with appropriate documentation or to start from scratch.
