Include binaries in releases #154

It's not uncommon for the releases page on GitHub to include downloadable built versions of a project.

Not everyone wants to develop SassC, most people just want to use it. Forcing everyone to download and build the source is just a big pain in the ass.

I could kind of see an argument if your instructions were

"On OSX run make, on Ubuntu run makefile, on Windows double-click make.bat".

Something where each OS has 1-3 very easy steps. But your instructions aren't that simple, and I don't think it's an unreasonable expectation that those with known-good environments (who are working on it), be the ones to do a build for that release.

Also for people with just command line experience, but no programming knowledge, it gives them a trustworthy latest copy of the executable, so they don't need to download outdated, potentially unsafe copies from third parties (that's the first link on Google).

+1 for Windows binaries. For now, we can get them from here, but it should be at least added to the README.

I think this is just a more demanding duplicate of #157
