I still have my reservations about mingw/vc8 builds.

Another kind of package right now will get us a lot of
troubles since
we are in RC stage.
After OCI hits stable we will start the brain storm process

upcoming release.

The whole build process should be automated, and the package
building
(Windows Installer + Merge Modules) for the extensions and
libraries.

some gems
requires the compiler, which is another issue we must face.

The whole idea is start from scratch, be modular and easily
testable,
taking as experience what we learned from OCI.
