Yep, this could work and were probably proper solution. Except we =
wouldn't add some issue for the non Windows users :) I'm not sure, why =
is it done so ATM, probably it has its historical reasons. But this =
would probably cause us need to update the release process procedure? =
And, for PHP7 or for any other as well? Currently that zipball is just =
generated with the build process, so it'll need to be sent over somehow. =
Were anyway doable,  wondering what the other RMs would say. Frankly, =
I'd leave it as it is - as long as it's reachable and documented.
