-----Original Message----- though, not cygwin (a la bsmedberg's new MozillaBuild stuff). I just wish there were an autoconf alternative that wasn't as painful as autoconf.

Only for the theorist. As you, we use build tools for our stackless branch written in python. There exist successfully built python versions back from the nineties, which can be considered "external" tools for all practical purposes. Building python with python is really nifty. Kristjan
