Indeed, we could accompany a winboard.exe with a clear warning:
"please don't download this, because it is almost certainly not what you want."

But why put it there at all, then? We don't supply XBoard binaries, do we?
The only reason to supply a binary WinBoard distribution is that WinBoard
users in general are not able to handle anything else than an out-of-the-box
package. If we are not allowed to give them that, there is no reason to
start supplying other things that also do not solve their problem.
