This is true, but I stopped updating the Community Windows source as of
5.2.10, then in the 7.0.0 tree, I removed the whole Win32 directory
since it is so out of date, and the old 5.2.9 (or 5.2.10? I forget which
one) is still available.

Very true.

The Bacula Enterprise Windows binaries are for sale but at a very low
price.  If you are a Bacula contributor (name in AUTHORS file) you get
them free by asking.  I am hoping to have them free by the end of the
year for all "individual" users.
