Putting up something that 'just works' is waaaaaaaaaaaay better than  
putting up something that 'might work if something else doesn't get  
messed up.'  Can you just pull the specific tag from their SVN? (I  
have no idea how they're set up)

If there's anything I can do over the next couple of days, to get  
0.9.0 out the door (finally!), please let me know.

I'm working on the buildbot for distutils and Distribute and Fabric is  
an integral part of it.  (see the distutils list for details)

What I'm I'm working on is a scheme for firing up on-demand buildbot  
servers for Python projects so you can test on a whole bunch of  
platforms (all Linux, right now, but Windows in the near future).

The cost for the servers is measured in pennies and I'm considering  
sponsoring it (maybe with a hosting partner).

P.S. BTW, do you have a buildbot set up for doing fabric testing?
