    Well, yes and no.

    No, in that it has no binaries and probably never will. It may contain links to binaries, but it doesn't now.

    Yes, in that it'll eventually be the place to go to find out what's available where.

    No, in that the snapshots probably don't even build on Win32, since the build process doesn't know anything about how to build on Win32. (This is partially because *I* don't really want to know about how to build on Win32, but I have a couple of patches to try.)

      The build process doesn't need to know anything about how to build on win32, it just has to not be specific to linux only.

        Unfortunately, it does need to know where to find the SDL headers, where to link against the SDL DLLs, and which components are present, not to mention which OpenGL headers — if any — are present. At least, that's how I understand it. If there's an easier way to build, please let me know!
