Heh, I hear you! Can you briefly outline the process for building the 
Windows installer? I'm considering soliciting the community for $$$ to
pay for a Windows 7 license for my Parallels, so I can help you. Do
I need anything else like a C compiler?

Sure, I won't argue the usefulness of that. Personally I'm heading in
the direction of toppcloud and EZ deployments to Rackspace Cloud. But
that stuff is not ready for prime time yet.

Further, when I see projects like Zenoss shipping debs it makes me
sad and jealous that we don't have the same ;-) Our unified installer
is the equivalent of their "stack" installer (and even better built
IMO since it's buildout based) but we have no equivalent in the
native packages department.
