There's no need to apologize; we don't expect every developer to be able
to build on every platform. If you are able to set up a Windows build
environment that would be very helpful, of course, but if not, a Windows
developer can do that.
If you just need a quick tests run, you can also trigger buildbot builds
of the swig-py3 branch on Windows by joining #svn-dev on IRC and
issueing an appropriate command to buildbot's IRC bot.

OK.

Good call: the branch should not cause regressions in tools/ scripts
that use the SWIG bindings. That said, I would assume that Python
scripts that don't use the swig bindings are orthogonal to the branch;
they _should_ be ported to Python 3, but that work can happen on trunk,
before or after the merge.

Good question, but I don't know the answer.
Thanks,
