Sorry, no.  Not unless someone will be kind enough to produce a
complete tarball.  Building from Git requires all kinds of utilities
that are not simple to set up on Windows.

In any case, I did look at the latest sources in Git, and I don't
think the patch I suggested is fixed, because the calculation in
determine_screen_width didn't change.  The problem here is that the
Windows cmd console moves to the next line as soon as you display the
last character that fits on the line.  So the last column must never
be occupied if we want a proper progress display.

It's not a hack.

It is.

Thanks.
