RE: local windows builds & testing from source

possible. 
 
i would like to get to that point, eventually.

god, thank you for getting me to look (again) for a pre-built version (for
python 2.3) -
http://twisted.sourceforge.net/contrib/pycrypto-2.0.win32-py2.3.exe - this
file did the trick.  once this was installed, pamariko installed flawlessly.

i am trying to make local builds for other geek testers like myself on a
local network, so yes, i would like to be able to build my own exe's.
 
i would like to stay as "vanilla" as possible, using the ISS file for the
installer script, but i could make my own with nsis or something else...
the real problem though is that i would need to compile everything so i end
up with bitpim.exe and bitfling.exe, and everything that would normally be
included in the package.
 
thanks again,
