Real tester? :-) That is way to much credits... 

The guys at Jam don't really excel to provide updates for SpamAssassin for
Windows (eg: 3.4.4 is their latest), so i grabbed their latest source and
started hacking/patching their distribution. 
I noticed the executables (spamd.exe, sa-update.exe, sa-learn.exe etc) are
basically wrappers for the actual perl files located in the /runtime directory
of their windows build, so i updated those to reflect version 4.000000, update
all the libs in the /runtime/inc/libs and installed the missing/updated perl
packages. I had done the same patching for 3.4.6 earlier so i realized their
was a good chance this could be done for 4.0.0 as well.


FYI, I tried to build my own Windows version, but build instructions for
Windows all seem outdated, and couldn't make it work so i gave up on that.
