Yeah, I had done that before (a year and a half ago) for a couple other
projects, but it was painful so I hadn't gotten to it yet.

BTW is there a specific reason you are not using VirtualEnv and/or pip?

I've never heard of the VirtualEnv part.  I figured for now, it's easiest to
just install the stuff by hand, but yeah, using easy_install or other such
tools could make the buildbot install part simpler.  On my Linux boxes, I
use easy_install, but it seemed that it might be broken for mingw, or was...
 I just wanted it working in a relatively stable way.

I'm sure there will be easier ways to get it all installed :)  The
environment parts are fairly important though, but I could try moving that
into the wrapper script too.
