I have what you might call a manual buildbot. (A buildman?)
I have set up an environment where I can create
installers for python trunk & pywin32 for the trunk
and principal branches (release-maint26 / py3k).

Once I've ironed out the issues with those, I hope
to be able to do the same for other simple projects
such as pyodbc which don't require large amounts of
library configuration.

Ultimately, I hope to be able to link into something
like snakebite.org to produce overnight build MSIs
of Windows projects. (Long-term plan, tho'!)
