I think that a nightly windows build would have a strong psychological 
effect.


I *did* manage to get Z3 compiled under Cygwin.

I had downloaded it to my Cygwin home directory with my TortoisCVS (win 
client). TortoiseCVS converts newlines to Windows newlines.

This, together with an apparent bug in PageTemplates or somesuch, gave 
me an error when I tried to go to a page in Plone. Are we missing a 
testcase here ;-)

It compiled fine, and all, but just couldn't show any pages.

When I downoaded it from CVS with the Cygwin command line client, it ran 
just as it should. I didn't need to do anything special.

I am writing an extensive How-To on this in any case. It's nice infor to 
have out there.


But I would rather run it from my normal Python under Windows. It would 
be easier in the long run I think.

I wouldn't mind writing a how-to for how to get that up and running  either.

I actually like writing technical documentation. Go figure.
