What for? The only binaries we should be letting out are for declared
releases. If the bug is serious enough to warrant cutting a generally
distributed binary for, it's worth making a release for, IMNSHO. The
Windows packaging team usually follow up a release with a package very
quickly indeed.

In this case, my guess is that this bugfix isn't important enough to
push a release. If there was a nightly build, the bug reporter could use
that for development until an official release came out.
The only reason I even suggested this is because setting up a windows
build environment is substantially more complicated than building on
unix. If he was on unix, he could easily just cvs up on the appropriate
branch and build it himself.
