[postgis-devel] Windows build

[Paragon Corporation]

Yes I wouldn't want to include it in stack builder.  Speaking of which can
we get rid of 1.3.5 in stack builder?

Last I checked it was still there so having 1.3.5 and 1.3.6 may be confusing
to new users.

The rules are reasonably simple: make sure that they are clearly labelled as
demo builds and put up plenty of disclaimers about not using on production
systems :)

I don't think that we should put experimental builds on StackBuilder as
otherwise I can see problems with people choosing the wrong download and
then getting upset. I see no reason not host them on refractions.net in a
beta/ directory and posting the URL to the users list, as I have done
several times in the past.


ATB,
