Comment(by zooko):

 Someone (I'm sorry, I forgot who) reported several problems trying to
 install Tahoe-LAFS on Windows, many of which would have been fixed if he
 could have gotten the binaries which are hosted on the test grid.

 Since there are outstanding issues with the test grid having very slow
 response times (a failure of availability), what we should do is copy all
 the files currently stored in
 http://testgrid.allmydata.org:3567/uri/URI%3ADIR2-RO%3Asnrfwfxatrci35zdgjnzxxx2ke%3Aunarxv347edtku3xzmefy4mcdmfngxzeb72iyqcadbjzjpczjx5a/index.html
 into
 http://allmydata.org/source/tahoe/deps/tahoe-deps
 .

 I hate relying on a boring old apache running on ubuntu instead of an
 awesome distributed, secure web hosting system, but I guess we need to
 release v1.5.0 so people can use it, without worrying about the test grid
 availability issues.

 I really hope we fix these outstanding issues of performance/availability
 soon so that we can start relying on tahoe grids with intermittently
 connected servers for web hosting.  According to [source:setup.cfg], these
 issues might include #193, #253, #287, #651, #653.

 Okay, so what we should do right now is copy all those files to the apache
 server and then bump this ticket out of the 1.5.0 Milestone.
