IMO, I think he's frustrated by the number of support requests he gets 
every day. I admit I asked some questions myself.

I can summarize the problems I've had so far with Windows builds of Openocd:
1 - No official exe on the website: building with Cygwin or MinGW under 
Windows it's *really* a pain. I really appreciate Freddie's work here.

This could be easily fixed by providing a Windows build when doing 
official releases or at least including a Visual Studio project which 
will build Openocd from sources.

2 - No documentation whatsoever to start using Openocd: when using a 
jtag interface you need to learn about libusb-win32 drivers, the 
difference between libusb versions (libusb0.1, libusb1.0, libusb-filters 
and so on), Vista issues (32-bit differs from 64-bit), jtag composite 
devices and how they interact with libusb.

I understand that all these problems are not Openocd-specific, but 
indeed they impact Openocd usage. I've seen that this community is by 
far the largest and most active between the other projects, so I think 
we are able to at least some basic support.

My 2 cents.
