I wasn't saying "we shouldn't do it", I was saying that "at this point in the development cycle we aren't doing it." I have neither the authority nor the knowledge to set that kind of policy.
Translation: if Dan doesn't say otherwise, go ahead--it's not my call anyway. :^)
Dan is usually very happy when people volunteer to do things. I would expect everyone would be happy if someone built a Win32 distro. All that would be required of it is to pass the same set of tests as the reference compile, if there is one.
It doesn't have to be the "official blessed by the Parrot team build" since it is free software you can build it an call it anything you want as long as you follow the copyright, just like ActiveState.
