[sword-devel] Windows tools build

[David Haslam]

Hi Greg,

It's unfortunate that all the files within the .tar have Modified Date = 1970-01-01 00:00

cf. That displays as blank in the Modified Date column of Windows File Explorer!

NB. I've only inspected the download. I've not tried to use any of them.

Best regards,

David

I verified that they're at least able to execute on my local system, but I don't have any real use for them on that machine to do any extensive testing. Although they might not be the very latest versions of the tools, themselves, they do come with the latest versions of the dependency libraries like libcurl and especially ICU.
