Re:Redis for win32 and the Microsoft patch

Antirez, with this reasoning perhaps it makes sense for the official Redis project to support an official redis-cli (the command line client) for Windows.
I agree that installing Redis on Windows is kind of "doing it wrong", but the ability to easily access a Redis server with redis-cli even on Windows seems to be pretty important to the continued increase in user base.
Thoughts?
EDIT: I understand there is a redis-cli for Window at https://github.com/dmajkic/redis/downloads , but a separate download that users must know about and keep up to date separately is a barrier to entry, IMHO.

So probably all we need to do is to better link at the win32 ports from the download page... no need to make stuff official and merged into the main project IMHO.
