I'm trying to download the xpi for enigmail for windows XP from either
enigmail.mozdev.org or addons.mozilla.org or update.mozilla.org for whatever
reason.  After about an hour of fiddling with it, I find that there appears to
be NO WAY to get the windows version of a given extension from Linux!  At this
point I would be happy to continuously harass the IRC channel or simply find out
whose idea this was and flame them once an hour until it's fixed; but my
frustrations are probably better applied filing a bug and hoping somebody fixes
this major screw-up.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Install Linux
2.  Install Firefox
3.  Go to addons.mozilla.org
4.  Get forcefed Mozilla Update Beta for some odd reason.
5.  Check it out!  You can't get Windows stuff!
Actual Results:  
I got extremely **** after about half an hour, and kept trying for a while
after that.

Expected Results:  
I should have been able to download windows extensions for apps.
