Sure, I'll forward your mail to xmlstar-devel@ where I would recommend
you also subscribe to. Maybe the other developers (and notable Noam here)
have a suggestion on how you could help?

Providing Windows packages would certainly be good. For starters I
suggest you package up the latest version and put it somewhere so
the other Windows users around can take a look and then we'll put it
in the SF download area.
