I would love for someone to step forward and maintain the Windows stuff.
Life is *so* much harder on Windows where we have to do so much for
ourselves, as opposed to the Linux packages where we just mark it as
depending on perl, ffmpeg, rtmpdump etc., and everything "Just Works".
And updates for packages like rtmpdump *also* happen properly, because
there's a system-wide update mechanism that works.

I've occasionally tried to keep it up to date, but fundamentally I just
don't care about Windows. I'm never going to do a good job of it, and I
only even *boot* Windows to test the installation, so I'm not a good
person to do it.

I'd be more than happy to 'hand over', and show someone how I got it
working, and give them access to the FTP site so that they can keep
things up to date (for example by testing newer versions of the various
dependencies and adjusting the links to them, etc.)
