I have no problems distributing the binaries I compiled, but they didn't
work quite OK - according to Werner some issues with different libraries
having different opinions about file descriptor numbers.

I agree, but since there are compatibility issues between 1.0.6 and 1.0.7
using 1.0.6 on win32 causes problems for me. At my work, I use a CD-R wit=
h
my keys on it on a win2000 machine, but that CD is nurnt from my Linux
partition at home. When I upgraded the Linux version to 1.0.7 I was force=
d
to do that too on the win2000 machine. For obvious reasons I don't keep
copies of my secret key on the harddisk of the computer at work.

Of course, I don't dispute that (in fact, I did some work on the SHA2=20
clearsignature patch myself).
