Is there any interest in Windows binaries?

What

Originally posted to GH-160:

Build times are ever increasing, as is the total size of all compiled binaries. I'm considering providing only Linux x86 and x64 binaries as part of future releases.

If there is interest, I'll continue to provide both sets of binaries for each release, otherwise I'll plan to drop the Windows binaries with the next release.

Building Windows binaries locally via make windows should continue to work as expected.

Windows binaries were dropped from the v0.13.0 release, but can be brought back if there is sufficient interest.

Local builds

Support for building Windows binaries locally is possible via:

• env GOOS=windows GOARCH=386 go build ./cmd/PLUGIN
• env GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go build ./cmd/PLUGIN
• Makefile builds
  • make windows
    • 32-bit and 64-bit Windows binaries
  • make all
    • 32-bit and 64-bit Linux & Windows binaries

How to provide feedback

• Upvote for "yes", I want Windows binaries.
• Downvote for "no", I do not use or have interest in Windows binaries.

We are using debian / Ubuntu on our nagios servers. No interest in Windows :-)
