Huh? Are we talking about same things?

Take a look at our official SVN tree:

http://squeakvm.org/svn/squeak/trunk/

where winbuild?

Take a look where generated sources located for unix:

http://squeakvm.org/svn/squeak/trunk/platforms/unix/src/

Yes. Except that if you check out from svn, there is no winbuild.
If you mean that you packaging a VM source (in zip archive) ,
and there it contains winbuild dir, this is different.
We are talking about version-controlled repository with good layout
from very starting.
No?
