I'm keen. However, it looks like Tim is most of the way there already:

The first 100% clean (ignoring _ctypes warnings) Windows builbot test run just finished. Yippee! Setup is hellish, although you've already done the worst of it if you regularly build+test full Python on Windows from a checkout ("full" == everything we ship on Windows, including bsddb, ssl, Tcl/Tk and bz2).

The second-worst part was figuring out which parts of various software docs could be ignored. I recorded all that remained here:

Reading that should save you several months ;-)

"x86 XP-2 trunk". I'd still like to give it a go. The machine I'd use (initially at least) would be Win2k -- so not just a dupe of Tim's WinXP box.

That would be great. A dupe of WinXP would also be great: I'm not going to keep my buildbot slave up all the time, or anywhere near all the time.
