this will probably require an account on LDAP so that you can push the
binaries like any other maintainer. we can definitely set that up.

this will require a Git account, which I think you already have. I think
it would be good to have the scripts on gnome.org, to avoid having to
hunt them down in case people want to contribute to them and/or use
them.

Neil Roberts has been working on a reliable way to build MSI installers
for Clutter applications like Pinpoint:

  http://git.busydoingnothing.co.uk/cgit.cgi/pinpoint-msi.git/

and we have a mingw build script shipped with Clutter itself:

  http://git.gnome.org/browse/clutter/tree/build/mingw/mingw-fetch-dependencies.sh

which depends on the pre-built DLLs whenever possible, so we're
obviously interested in sharing the solutions.

ciao,
 Emmanuele.
