I guess somebody mistakenly deleted the relevant links for newer 
versions of the legacy windows client (spicec.exe), x64 builds and the 
windows spice libs (wspice).
However, in addition to spicec.exe, the only thing you need is to 
extract to the same directory the file libcelt_0_5_1.dll from:
http://spice-space.org/download/stable/wspice-x86_20110308.zip
(I'll re-add the links today)

This is for windows guest side, not windows client.
