Yes, that's why I suggested they remove the direct links and instead
link to the download page itself. I don't see sense in duplicating
the direct links, particularly since it means people don't get to
see the changelog news and gpg signatures.

virt-manager is a much more complex application than virt-viewer/virsh
and is written in python. This makes life even harder because we'd need
a way to create mingw packages of python so we can incorporate it into
our build system - we avoid any use of real Windows OS for our Windows
builds - everything in Mingw + Wine. There are also various other
dependancies virt-manager has which cause more pain.
