new windows-build-scripts now working (warts aside)

 

I've had some success at last getting the new build scripts to build a Windows installer. rev 106 of lp:bzr-windows-installers now builds a 2.2 installer with all the usual suspects plus some new plugins:

* colo
* fastimport
* loom
* pipeline

Hooray!

Unfortunately, Python 2.6 support is still not quite there so I'm still using Python 2.5 and Qt 4.4. This is because py2exe needs to bundle a different set of dlls to those bundled with 2.5 and that's a complexity I'm yet to sort out. If someone has addressed that issue for another installer, please speak up (and save me some time!).

Some other warts:

* launchpadlib now needs to be loaded and isn't yet

* pipeline isn't loading correctly either: perhaps it needs some dependency I'm yet to track down.

I suspect it still needs some patches from Naoki for TBZR as well?

Time for sleep now. (I'll publish some installers for keen users to test tomorrow.)
