With windows we've been receiving conflicting reports.  The packages
_do_ work for many people.  The trick is isolating why it breaks for
some people.

As the maintainer, I've let this linger for far too long.  We need
an effective repeatable windows build that we can use for debugging.
I've started work on a build environment.  I'll see whether it's
better to use jhbuild under linux or mingw manually on windows.

I can't claim credit.  Ivan made the build, I just posted it.

They're one in the same.  The dialog is empty because it's not
finding the plugins that implement the chart types.
