[Miguel Angel Ajo Pelayo <miguelangel@xxxxxxx>]

This tuesday I must decide if I keep renewing our *ltium license, or if we won't.

I'm thinking about donating 1/2 - 2/3 of it's cost to buy one of those mac minis to 
provide continuous integration/building of kicad binaries for OSX on every bzr release.

It would be wonderful also if we managed to do same thing for Windows users, I can
provide a windows VM for that somewhere, or try to setup a cross compiling from linux
once all the python+mingw+wxython mess gets working (and Dick + Brian + Wayne 
are working hard on this).
