 My dad would love to see some new grand-children movies.  I would love for
 there to be a package for Tahoe on Windows that was simple enough to
 install that he could install it on his home computer.

 The starting point should probably be to find out how well setuptools and
 py2exe have grown together since last we looked...

Comment:

 This Windows package has long since bit-rotted due to being unmaintained
 and not having tests.
