Sorry, I must have missed that mail.

The main problem is that if I provide an "inter-version" snapshot,
i.e. a build that doesn't exactly correspond to the contents of an
official (source) release, I will have to produce a corresponding
source tarball (zipfile), too. (Otherwise somebody who reads the LGPL
like the devil could accuse me of violating the LGPL.)  Producing a
source tarball is rather tiresome on Windows, and I had really really
hoped I could avoid it from 2.2.1 on.

I dunno, maybe just adding a couple of entries to the .def files could
be considered such a minor change, that it would be OK to just
distribute the diff for the .def file, and otherwise refer to the
official source?
