[Bug-ocrad] Windows binary

Hello Antonio

I have made my self a bookreading device, so I am scanning a lot of books.
I am reading mainly names of persons and dates.

I am using Omnipage which seems to have an excellent OCR engine, but the result 
gets destroyed by its (intelligence).
A simple 2 column text gets garbled by a much to smart zoning algoritme, so 
manually correction are needed.
You can't get the text as is, Omnipage adds and removes linebreaks spaces and 
so on.
Omnipage don't read a characterset like iso-8859-15, but a language so you have 
to enable the languages holding the needed characters, after which the spell 
checkers destroys the result.
A characters close to numbers gets changed to numbers, and a number close to 
characters gets changed to characters. 
Omnipage don't have a commandline option and the graphical userinterface are at 
the least a waste of time.

So I would like to use OCRAD, but there don't seem to be a Windows binary ?
I probably could build it myself, but I am from the hardware end, so it may 
take forever.
I have been using UNIX/LINUX/GNU tools for many years mostly under windows.

Regards 
John Nielsen
