[cfe-dev] What are the plans for creating a Windows Binary Release of Clang?

[Devin Crumb]

Are you telling me that you do not want Clang to eventually have its own
non-proprietary toolchain for Windows?  If that is really the case, why?
 If not, is there a plan to create a Clang non-proprietary toolchain for
Windows and how can I help?  If there is not a plan, what needs to happen
to create such a plan?
