Right.

How is the Windows release built?

Yes, I would.

I do try to run the testsuite often on my own machine, but that's not
the same as a buildbot.

I have a machine that I'm intending to set up a Windows MinGW buildbot
on. 

I've been waiting for better buildbot install instructions to show up,
and for time to spend on it. The most recent set of emails about
setting up buildbots was discouraging.

Thanks for the nudge; I'll get to it sometime :).
