Nice offer,
but I'm a little confused by that plethora of choices:

3 target releases (F23, F24, rawhide), 2 architectures (x86, x64),
each of them providing 2 _Windows_ binaries (vdservice.exe, vdagent.exe) ...
... which should be equivalent ? ...
... usable on Win-(any)-x86 AND Win-(any)-x64 ?

But:
I rpm2cpio-ed them all and those binaries all differ from each other.

Which pair of (vdservice.exe, vdagent.exe) would make it into the
Win-installer on spice-space ?

Or would we even get those released on the next Fedorapeople ISO (where
I currently cannot find them) ?
Same question here: which of the 6 pairs would make it into that ISO ?

Wouldn't it make sense to build the 2 win exes _once_ and then just
import them into the 6 target rpms ?

Regards,

Thorsten
