Notice that we both look for somebody to build the next 2.6/3.0 betas
(see the subject), and the 2.5.3 rc and final release (assuming Anthony
still has that plan).

My testing on Itanium is the mere "does it install?", "can I start both
cmdline and IDLE?", "is the help file the right one?". The test suite
itself will fail/hang - it always did in 2.5.x.

No. I don't think VS 2003 supported that. I don't do PGO for the AMD64
build of 2.6/3.0, either, because I also have a cross-compilation
environment which prevents that.

Please see the most recent MSI files - they are all signed.
