Yes, I was thinking of that, and of telling them they may need to
upgrade more frequently than normal 8.0.0 users to fix win32 bugs as we
find them.  In fact, the idea I was thinking of is to have pginstaller
update from current cvs more frequently than we make minor releases as
we have done during beta.  That way, people can get win32 fixes faster. 

Also, maybe we should encourage them to subscribe to announce so we can
announce any Win32 fix releases we might need.  They probably aren't
used to that procedure.
