Sure, why not?

I'm pretty busy and don't usually take on projects for less than 4 digits :)
but this could really help the community so I guess I'd consider it..

I don't know what the state of the pyxpcom community is, but why don't you
put together a spec and a price and post it and see (to this list as well as
some of the bounty sites)..  I guess I'm wondering what would help you and
most people get started quickly..  Would it be a build system that works
reliably but still takes a few hours on a modern machine, or pre-built
executables targeted for Windows/Linux/MacOSX?
