Python 2.4 on Windows switched to a new MSVC compiler platform. This was
the cause of the windows binaries delays. It looks like 2.5 will be
using the same compiler as 2.4, so the builders should be good to go. I
don't have the correct ms mojo to build windows binaries for python. 

I think Rene knows more at this point when we are ready for 1.8 to
luanch.
