Ah cool, thanks for the heads up!

Couple of comments:
- the stable version is -0.96, the latest one is -0.103.
  alt.fedoraproject.org had -0.100 I assume this was not considered
  stable?
- any reason not to ship SPICE vdagent while shipping the QXL driver?
- has there been any testing of the qxldod driver? My understanding is
  that it's still a bit young (but wider exposure/testing is probably
  good at this point).

The QXL driver should have a WHQL signature, do you know if that is the
case? The latest builds uploaded to spice-space.org did have the WHQL
signature.

Once you have all the drivers/agent binaries, the installer by itself
can be built on a linux box with mingw32-nsis. Fetching the
drivers/putting them in the right directory structure is still half
manual/half automated at this point, so a bit more work might be needed,
but this should definitely be doable. Tracking new vdagent releases/QXL
releases might need to be done manually though. Well, we'll see, all in
all, interesting idea ;)
