Daniel,

I think the problem is much easier than that. We need to do be able to 
support this release on Linux also. For that matter we need to support 
9.1, 9.2 and postGIS 2.0 which we don't today resulting in every user 
asking the list how to get it to work.

So, we build and test on linux.
Regina can pull our source into the build bot.
I can build on Windows here (if I have to).
and we just plan to cut 1.06 release on Linux that fixes some bugs and 
compatibility issues.

If we plan it like this then its more about the bugs, and compatibility 
and yes at some point it gets tested on windows and if there are windows 
specific issues, Regina and I can sort them out and check changes back 
into the branch.

CC: Regina since she needs to interact with our efforts.
