Wayne,
I think that package format is fine. If anyone comes out of the
woodwork volunteering to build an NSIS installer, great, but this seems
like a nice step forward.
Don't hold your breath on that one. I don't expect to see a NSIS kicad
installer until the stable release.
If we need to build on Windows, I can attach a Windows box to my Jenkins
cluster.
I build it on windows first because I know it builds without any issues
and it's probably the easiest to implement. Cross-compiling could be
implemented later.

I would think so. I'm guessing that if you use ArchLinux that you could
even package the cross-compiled binaries. I know that kicad has been
cross compiled in the past on linux but I haven't tested it. Of course
you would have to cross compile all of the library dependencies which
could be more problematic as there are quite a few patches required to
build a mingw versions of Python and wxPython. You can see all of the
patches in the package file repo on github.
