To build the Windows release, currently this .bat file is used which is rather tied to my computer.

```
set NIMVER=0.14.2

Rem Build -docs file:
koch web0
cd web\upload
7z a -tzip docs-%NIMVER%.zip *.html
move /y docs-%NIMVER%.zip download
cd ..\..

Rem Build .zip file:
REm koch csources -d:release
rem koch xz -d:release
rem move /y build\nim-%NIMVER%.zip web\upload\download

ReM Build Win32 version:

set PATH=C:\Users\Anwender\projects\nim\dist\mingw\bin;%PATH%

call build.bat
cd ..
nim c koch || exit /b
koch boot -d:release || exit /b
cd ..\nimsuggest
