That's the problem with all closed-source software.

To the one who wants to release win32 binaries : please make sure you
follow what's restricted by the GPL. The source must be included, for
example.
Additionnaly, I don't think it's required, but providing detailed
instructions on how you compiled the services might help the paranoid
people here :)
sthing like :
- install cygwin
- apply this patch
etc etc etc :)

I don't use ircservices, but aren't there compile-time options (like
IRCD type) you need to take care of ? Wouldn't it be a better idea to
only provide docs on how to compile, leaving the compilation as an
exercice to the reader ? If Andrew agrees, those docs could be included
in ircservices, for example.
