 Thomas>  Hm, but why on a 32-bit machine?

It would be convenient, because that's how our existing build
environment is set up.  We build a bunch of MS based stuff, both 32
and 64 bit, using a 32 bit build system.  I just created a Python
based utility that gets packaged up with py2exe for Windows users.
And getting that added to the build system was easy for the 32 bit
flavor.

Ok, so I'll have to add a 64 bit machine to our setup.  Should be
doable.

Thanks!
