When was the last time all project files were up-to-date in a Speex release?

It's not about seeing the win32 directory. It's about carrying 1MB worth
of files that a out-of-date more often than not when it takes just a few
minutes to create a new project.

Again, consider when's the last time I had win32 builds on time for the
release. Not blaming anyone here, just showing how much of a mess win32
is to maintain in the current way.

Is it that much of a problem?
