I will; any help is welcome, especially if you have a machine with the
same Windows version (see #12678). I caught Georg’s message on
python-committers but could not do anything in time; I only have
Internet access at a public library so I can’t be as responsive as I would.

Yes, there are a few dozen bugs that need addressing before 1.0 (i.e.
Python 3.3), but there’s time.  Alpha and beta releases of distutils2
would be useful.
