Get over it.  Our installers are 100% reproducible using libjpeg-turbo's 
in-tree packaging system.  I don't see how that is philosophically any 
different from using a binary distributed by MinGW-builds or Cygwin.  It 
is just a different distribution mechanism.

All the more reason to use our supported build procedure, if possible. 
This will ensure that your build won't break due to some future 
modification I make to the Unix build system.  Getting it working the 
first time isn't the issue.  It's the maintainability of the solution.

No, we have two separate sets of packages, one built with MinGW and one 
built with Visual Studio.
