Eugene will be able to answer better than I, but I believe we basically 
are there. There's no magic in building Eugene's installer, so far as I 
know. It's actually not the installer that is hard to build. You can run 
the NSIS script from the Windows file manager. (Just right click on it, 
choose "Compile NSIS script" or whatever.) Compiling is where the work 
is, but I think that the instructions in INSTALL.Win32 are up to date. 
Probably we should get some other Windows users to try following them 
before 2.4.0.
