When Tim Peters added it, he wanted it to tell him whether he did the Windows build correctly, INCLUDING ALL OPTIONAL PACKAGES that can possibly work on Windows. If you try to generalize this beyond Windows, then the only skips that are expected are the ones for tests that absolutely cannot work on the platform - i.e. Unix tests on Windows, and Windows tests on Unix. Otherwise, if you can get it to pass by installing additional software, Tim did not mean this to be an expected skip.
Note that it works this way on Linux as well. On Kubuntu (for example) you need another half dozen or so additional *-dev packages installed to avoid unexpected test skips.
Cheers, Nick.
P.S. For anyone curious, I posted the list of extra packages you need here: http://boredomandlaziness.blogspot.com/2010/01/kubuntu-dev-packages-to-build-python.html
