Description:
For long time 5.0.90 was available in a wide variety of 'flavors' - including packages with/without automatic installers. That changed around 1 month ago, where 5.0.92 was uploaded to mirrors and all previous builds were deleted from mirrors (except for a few very old Ubuntu builds).

Now after 5.0.92 was made available for all other platforms I only see a single package for Windows.  I think it (ftp://mirrors.dotsrc.org/mysql/Downloads/MySQL-5.0/mysql-5.0.92.zip) is a source archive for Windows? 

Other OS's seem to same degree of support here as before.

How to repeat:
ftp://mirrors.dotsrc.org/mysql/Downloads/MySQL-5.0/ has only a source archive as far as I can see.

http://downloads.mysql.com/archives.php?p=mysql-5.0 has no higher than 5.0.91

Suggested fix:
Support Windows at exactly same level as other OS's are supported.

And btw. the downloads from 'archives' are (the ridiculous) 'MySQL_essentials' builds and not FULL packages.

I agree that we should provide the same set of binaries for 5.0.92 as, say, for 5.1.56 on Windows platform.

Verified OK for the 5.0 "capstone release", which was 5.0.96: http://downloads.mysql.com/archives.php?p=mysql-5.0&v=5.0.96
