No worries...

cool... will try and get one setup over the weekend.

Well, you don't need SSH, since tests can run off an anonymous checkout. but, yeah, the
SSH you use for python will work fine.

I installed WinCVS, which also installs the command line tools. Just needed to tweak the
PATH env variable after that. And of course, I have M$ VC++ 6.0 installed...

Then I did:
cvs co Zope3 -r  -P -d Zope-3x-branch 
python stupid_build.py
python test.py

Lemme know if it breaks anywhere...

cheers,
