I just triggered a build manually. If it works, is it possible to have a 
2.4.10 release ready by Monday morning? Given sourceforge's decision to let 
gnucash appear as "weekly featured project", I'm wondering whether we better 
have the version with less Windows bugs available as the main download 
version...
