Right, I agree on all accounts. Do whatever is most convenient for you.

On that topic, is there anybody else in this list who has the
necessary software to build a Python Windows release? I feel quite
uncomfortable thinking that, if your PC crashes, Windows people would
be without Python (actually, *that* uncomfortable is that thought not
:-)

This would probably the time to step forward offering to build the
official 2.1.2 binary distribution.
