Not true. 
There have been more than one attempt by more than one person including 
Ales and me. See the various threads in the archive of this list. The 
most recent, most successful is Cesars efforts. 

You keep asking why there are dedicated debian, gentoo and fedora 
packagers, but none for MSwin. Well, preparing a windows port is nowhere 
near to the task of preparing it for an OS that is native to the project. 
So please stop complaining about windows users.
