No, we should ship it that way to start with.  Otherwise we're going to
get caught with no released source code that will allow 2.2.

A look at ftp.gnu.org says that 2.2 was released 19-May-2006 and
2.3 was released 05-Jun-2006.  So it's not like these versions are
fresh off the boat.  I think it's safe to assume that someone will
bother to compile them for Windows, probably sooner not later.
We should be making sure our code works with them, rather than
making sure it doesn't.
