No, but the name is 'winbuild' and it is windows related. I realize it isn't
optimal but then neither is having two build systems for Windows (in different
places) - I *really* would like to see them merge to a single one at some
point.

My general idea is to move away files from the root dir into more localized
and dedicated places in the tree. Also, this file doesn't really change
much...
