Thanks for your Windows build Allard! I'm using it currently (alternating with Yuv's layout-branch test build) and it works great so far for me.
I think it is good to get something "out there" for windows like you've done, and then we can perfect the releases based on that. The wiki and knowledgebase are growing, and the threshold for building is getting lower from each step. I think the Hugin's new release model is great, not least because put's the issue about Windows builds in stark light.
