I think I don't understand what you mean by a separate Fedora
repository.  Do you mean as in the way that 'sources', 'debuginfo' and
'updates' are separate?  How would I go about requesting such a repo?

You mentioned the similarity to secondary archs in your other email.
Obviously this does sort of look like a secondary arch, but I think
there are significant differences -- eg. this work isn't self-hosting,
unless you involve an actual Windows host (or perhaps some really
complicated Wine configuration??)
