What they think would be the benefit of another binary? I feel a bit offended by people thinking I can not produce a decent binary from my sources. I think your MSVC/GCC/whatever is just as good as mine (unless you are a GCC developer ;))
Soon they create a poll if you had to give away your sources for a new compile - better manage to lose them right now.

I am a big fan of Critter too and I sincerely hope that someday it will be the number 2 engine in the world, right behind Komodo of course.
