Or perhaps an automated nightly Windows build.

We have talked about it many times before, but simply lack the bandwidth. Maybe you could provide this for Cygwin?

Argh ... that wasn't fair.
Ok I will try and find some time to look into it.
A problem is that every platform has its own unique bag of miserable quirks. Case in point: before we released ZODB 3.3a3 last Friday (which is also the ZODB in the current Zope2 and Zope3 CVS HEADs), I tried to run the ZODB/ZEO test suite under Cygwin on WinXP Pro. "Disaster" is a fair assessment -- every time the test framework tried to spawn a ZEO process, it died instantly, with a Cygwin-specific message I didn't understand. So you need to be a real platform fan to get a "minority" platform to work; while I like Cygwin well enough, I rarely use it, and don't have time or interest to pursue it as a hobby. Maybe this is (still) relevant to building Zope under Cygwin, maybe not: http://www.zope.org/Members/dgeorgieff/howto_zope_cvs_on_cygwin/index_html What exactly is needed? I routinely compile Zope2 and Zope3 HEAD on Windows, using MSVC 6. I can't make time to set up a fancy snapshot procedure, but if all people want is (e.g.) a zip file containing the .pyd files, uploading those once a week wouldn't be a significant time sink.
