Since your original note says you are no longer interested in
maintaining Dmake it would be good if you could either add this defect
report or ask the reporter of the issue to add it.

And you solved absolutely nothing by deprecating the Windows binary
that is needed for building AOO 3.4.1, especially when you notice that
it has been downloaded 1000 times.   I fail to see your logic in this.

Didn't you just say that it no longer builds from source?

I'm not asking you to do any hard, Pedro.  Just don't delete the stuff
that works and which is dependency for AOO 3.4.1.

Put your axe away.
