Could you copy whatever tricks you've been able to come up with into the
buildbot.net wiki? There's a RunningBuildbotOnWindows page there which is
probably the first place other windows users will look for this sort of
thing.

Also, if anyone can come up with a patch that allows buildbot to run under
windows on all our currently supported versions of Twisted (2.0.x or later),
I'll gladly apply it. I remember seeing that twistd-vs-twistw patch, but I'm
uncertain if it would introduce a dependency on some more recent version of
twisted.

I really know nothing about windows, so Buildbot and I are at your mercy in
this area :). Anything you can do to help out would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
 -Brian
