    There are several ways of doing this and it has been considered and
    attempted before but none of the current developers (myself included)
    has the time to implement a convenient generic instrumented build frame
    for windows right now. Unfortunately we're all volunteers with little
    spare time and TODO lists longer than our memoirs.

    There are various ways of getting debug information out of special
    builds of abiword on windows but it can be very non-trivial for
    non-developers.

    In the mean time, the best way to submit crash info is to do so manually
    at http://bugzilla.abisource.com/ with as many details and testcases as
    possible.

    Thanks for your suggestion
