Can we get a link to a downloadable that doesn't have to be built or compiled or what have you? I mean, I know that NetHack has a long history of being omni-platform and mostly targetted to the extreme computer-savvy, so raw source is probably adequate for most folks... but there are some dummies like me who need someone to make a .exe for us.
