It seems to me that a "Windows build service" is something the Python
infrastructure could support.  This would be analogous to the types of binary
build services Linux distros provide, e.g. the normal Ubuntu workflow of
uploading a source package to a build daemon, which churns away for a while,
and results in platform-specific binary packages which can be directly
installed on an end-user system.
