5) Windows volunteers regularly disappear after doing it once.

I looked into this for XEmacs, and it seems that making a decent
Windows installer is a moderately big job, while Windows people who
are capable of doing it are typically the kind of folks who have more
than enough to do in their regular jobs, and get flack from their
bosses for "wasting" time on volunteer work.  (That's based on two
brief email exchanges, so take it with a grain of salt.)

Since Windows people seem to work only for money, the Chicago
economist in me suggests that you should start a Bazaar Windows
Installer Foundation, and as the donations rise, anybody who wants to
grab the money can build an installer. :-)
