It wasn't overlooked.
I'm not on that build  alias but  the need for t2k.lib complicated 
matters as the binary builds
used as the source of the plugs don't contain these.
If you look for the make-closed-binaries target you'll see it builds a 
directory 'closed'
which contains just the binary plug pieces.
Rather than using that and having to put that out, the decision was made 
to use the
full builds so we didn't have to add another download and complication.

The tradeoff is windows doesn't build but that will be addressed by 
removing the
dependency on t2k .
