Sounds good. But I am confused. I see in my PyPI page here:

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/garlicsim/0.1

That I have a source distribution "garlicsim-0.1.zip". How can anyone know 
whether it's the source distribution for 2.5 or 2.6?

I'm not getting an .msi file in my build directory, but I do get a "garlicsim-
0.1.win32-py2.6.msi" in my dist directory. What's going on?

I haven't, this problems happens on the 2.5 fork. (Haven't tried the others 
yet.)
