Indeed. Server configuration (which is outside my control) has
rendered this URL unreahable.

However, you can find win32 builds over here:
http://buildbot.flashrom.org/buildresults/

You can find an (alpha quality) prebuilt .exe here:
http://buildbot.flashrom.org/buildresults/flashrom-000174-CcG/win32/

If you wish to reproduce the build yourself, here are in-a-nutshell
instructions: http://flashrom.org/Windows#Building_.28cross-compiling.29_flashrom_on_Linux_for_Windows_using_MinGW.

flashrom is open source software (GPL), and its mailing list is public
as well. Meeting such confidentiality disclaimers is impossible.
