My apologies. Let me clarify. If the user doesn't already have a version of
network installed (e.g. via the HP), then building network is required to
build network-uri. This probably isn't a problem on Windows, if we assume
users already have an appropriate version of network through the HP. It
might be an inconvenience (e.g. longer build times) for users who don't use
the HP but still want to build network-uri (e.g for the maintainer of
network-uri :) ).
