I'm not sure of the story here -- perhaps we had to push some special
buildfix just for Windows?
(Doing a quick scan, I see the following OS-specific builds:
OSX-only build for 3.5.0
4.0.0 RC2 for Windows
4.0.0 RC3 Final for OSX
4.1.0.0.b1 for Win
4.1.0.1 Win
4.1.0.3 Win ("hotfixes")

Here's what we have listed for 3.6.7 builds:

    # 3.6.7 versions
    'a61ad19-949f691-349cf55-3bea8d1-2c85eb' => '3.6.7.1',
    'e183d5b-f8ccaf6-3804794-95b4be8-895629' => '3.6.7.2', # Final
(last of 3.6 series)

I don't see that build in there. Cloph?

Couple of thoughts:

1) Could we further automate the build process to ensure that build
ids get uploaded?

2) Could we upload a text manifest/summary along with builds?
(e.g. look at http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/3.6.7.1/deb/x86/
There's no quick and easy way for me to find the build-id of that
build. A text manifest with build-id, build date, and a few other
small pieces of metadata in a standardized format could be very
helpful)
