Thanks. I missed this announcement. I tried cross-compiling for 
Windows, and it's obviously way easier than setting up a Windows 
environment, especially for those of us that don't use Windows.

In case anyone else gets confused when setting it up, the 
installation directory and the addon both have /etc 
subdirectories. You need to merge them.
