[Python-Dev] Python Extension Building Network

[Joseph Armbruster]

Mike,

I had been working on getting my box ready to function as one of these:
http://wiki.python.org/moin/BuildbotOnWindows.

However, I will help out in whatever way possible.  If the team feels it 
could be better utilized doing this, let's do it.

VS2005 only fits in because I happen to own a single license :-) It 
seems like most people in the community do not have ready-access to one, 
so I figured this could be a benefit.

Let me know,
Mr. Joseph Armbruster
