This is an ideal job for VMWare on an existing linux build machine if
someone can ante up a win xp and msvc++ license to the cause.  A
vmware license for the build host probably isn't even necessary
assuming vmware player works and one of us with a license can setup
the vmware image (http://www.vmware.com/products/player/).  (theres
also a chance we could get vmware inc. to donate a license to python
if one was needed)
