A week? I think we shouldn't need that long.

Or if not CMike, is there someone else with a Windows box and a little
bindings experience around?
(I've pinged CMike privately in case he didn't see this thread, though.)

I'd say let's not block 1.3 with this one, then. The main script to
worry about is probably mailer.py, which isn't too hard to test (well,
individually, none of them are hard to test, but in aggregate it's a
bunch of drudge work). We should probably merge the patch to trunk.
Getting code into the bleeding edge is a good way to get it tested by
random people (I can do one or two, but couldn't promise to test all
of them).
An open question: can we release the upgraded versions in 1.3.1 or
later? Or should it wait until 1.4. I guess 1.4, much as I hate to
say it.
