http://www.spice-space.org/download/windows/vdagent/vdagent-win-0.7.2/mingw32-spice-vdagent-0.7.2-1.fc19.noarch.rpm
and
http://www.spice-space.org/download/windows/vdagent/vdagent-win-0.7.2/mingw64-spice-vdagent-0.7.2-1.fc19.noarch.rpm
contain the binaries:

$ rpm -qpl ./mingw64-spice-vdagent-0.7.2-1.fc19.noarch.rpm
/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin/vdagent.exe
/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin/vdservice.exe

No QXL driver, the virtio-win drivers (located at
https://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/virtio-win/latest/images/bin/ ) seem
to have win8 versions, and the agent should be working as well on win8.
I've never tried these though.
