Comment:

 We've stopped providing or using the SUMO/tahoe-deps tarballs, but we now
 host binary wheels for mac and windows, and I've tested that a build on
 windows with the following command uses those wheels in lieu of trying to
 compile anything:

 {{{
 pip install --find-links=https://tahoe-lafs.org/deps tahoe-lafs
 }}}

 As explained in the new `docs/desert-island.rst`, an additional `--no-
 index` should be enough to let this work without net access at all.

 So I think we can close this out now.
