What I proposed was a autobuild for pytho packages on pypi not cpython  
builds. The system could certanly use your tool as a way to have many  
python versions, but in the end I think people would want packages  
built by cpython binaries distributed at python.org and third party  
distros (like ubuntu, mac os x, macports, etc).
