This gets even worst when you infer that these "amatuer" builds are "obviously broken" or use "improper source code".
By amateur builds I mean compilations which were made by people with absolutely no previous experience, whose first releases support SSE 4.1, etc... Sorry, but if compiler doesn't have submit access to the rev page on google code, it's seedy at best. There are many instances where new revision led to much worse performance than 100-200 rev before.
I'm all for people hosting many revs on skydrive, mediafire etc... But not if they aren't experienced, and yet still further modified .h and .cpp sources before making their own compilation and uploading it.
All those people you listed, are quite knowledgeable so that doesn't apply to them
