OK, I'm up for it :)

I've made a number of changes:

I promoted x-crack-images, x-image-size and x-ocr-engine to non experimental
options.  The defaults are the same as before (but the outlook binary will
enable it).  NOTE: This means that you MUST CHANGE YOUR CONFIGURATION FILE
if you previously had these options enabled.

I made a significant change involving py2exe, and is designed to allow
anyone to build spambayes binary builds, not just someone with Office 2k on
their box.  I've enhanced py2exe and checked in 3 files generated by makepy,
in the windows/py2exe/gen_py directory.  Due to the py2exe enhancements, you
need to install a CVS version of py2exe to make this work - but given I was
the only one capable of building binaries in the past, we haven't lost
anything :)  With that new py2exe, it should be possible to build the binary
without any Office version installed at all.

I included gocr.exe, and made a few other changes I found necessary while
testing the binary.  All my changes are checked in.

I've put a test binary at
http://starship.python.net/crew/skippy/downloads/spambayes-1.1a3-mh1.exe -
I'm afraid I haven't even gotten to testing the installer side of that - but
I did test the generated binaries and it all seems to work.  I'm out of
spambayes time for this week, but I'd welcome any feedback on this.  Any
spambayes-dev folk using the Windows binaries are invited to give it a go -
but please don't suggest it for use by anyone else.

Cheers,

Mark
