Even as a Windows user, I'm on manoflinux's side on this one. While learning the language was my first goal, I quickly realized that I needed some level of automation. Maybe it's just my development style, but I am constantly side loading my code as I make changes to it, so manually zipping it and uploading the file via the web page is very tedious, at best. I now have a horribly over-complicated batch file that does everything for me using 7zip and curl. It even takes command line parameters so I can specify whether it should be packed for publishing (rekeys the box, zips, and uploads), include the core framework I've built, or just side load for testing (or any combination of the above). I've even come up with a way to specify whether to build the "lite" version or the full version without requiring two separate codebases. I have a command window open at all times, so packaging and uploading is as simple as pressing up to pull up the last command and hitting enter. And I now never build a publishable package with the wrong key by accident. Good stuff...
So, even though I'll never actually use this, I can appreciate what manoflinux is trying to accomplish, and thank him for sharing it with the community!
