I built the steemd.exe and cli_wallet.exe executables using the process described in the OP for the code as of this commit. So that code is actually ahead of v0.4.3.
I have made those executables available in a zip file available at this link for anyone who really wants to play around with it now and doesn't have access to a Linux system (or doesn't want) to build it themselves.
Because steemit.com is being very foolish right now (it refuses to let me create a link to IPFS without automatically treating it like an image) I have to provide the link in a code block:
https://gateway.ipfs.io/ipfs/QmbFbd3MYj6LrRjPFKPUkzUHMEtAdnHMDqfW7NXzjMt3Ah
That download link is to an IPFS gateway. So it should download to your computer to a filename like QmbFbd3MYj6LrRjPFKPUkzUHMEtAdnHMDqfW7NXzjMt3Ah. You need to rename it to a zip file like steem.zip and then you can extract the two executables inside.
If you have sha256sum.exe on your computer (I recommend getting it), you can verify that the zip file you downloaded is good by comparing it to the following sha256sum:
4e6af58981554991e2d9a29a49adbd8eb6a52b8d8149f0cb6d143189c84fc607
If you don't get the above sha256sum for the file you download, then it isn't the correct file and I cannot guarantee the safety of what you run.
