Agreed, though I have everything going with my own testing buildbot
master (everything for the trunk build that is). My only remaining
problem is that I can't connect to python.org's master. (Following up
with Martin.)

Did you apply the Berkeley DB patches to your db-4.2.52 sources?

I'm worried about the load this is going to cause on this machine with a
new build for every checkin (granted they are serialized so not for
*every* checkin). The full (doubled) test suite takes a *long* time to
run on Windows. It looks like it took about 25 minutes on your box. It
is taking over 40 minutes on one of my machines here. :( This Windows
box needs an enema.
Remaining TODOs:
- get connection to python.org master working
- make sure the python24-maint branch one works
- see about the load issue
- get the build slaves running as a Windows service
- update PCbuild/readme.txt
