Pre-2.3-alpha2 Windows installers now available

Hi all,

Here are the first fully-functional Windows installers built (by me)
with Alon's new cross-compilation environment (a.k.a. "generic"
buildsystem):

<http://build.openvpn.net/downloads/snapshots/openvpn-install-2.3_master-I000_master-i686.exe>
<http://build.openvpn.net/downloads/snapshots/openvpn-install-2.3_master-I000_master-x86_64.exe>

The installers and executables and libraries in them have been signed
with a self-signed test certificate. This means that Windows Vista/7
64-bit will refuse to install the (self-signed) TAP-drivers, unless this
CA certificate is in the system keystore:

<http://build.openvpn.net/downloads/openvpntestca-cert.cer>

This certificate can be imported using Microsoft management console
(mmc.exe):

- Add  the "Certificates" snap-in
- Go to "Trusted root certificates"
- Right-click "Certificates"
- Select "All tasks" -> "Import"

After this you can run the OpenVPN installer and it should just work. A
version of OpenVPN signed with paid-for certificate is coming soonish.
That one will work on any supported Windows version without jumping
through these hoops.

Have fun (and please report back any issues you find),
