Alex,

My primary goal is a collaborative build environment for OSGeo4W
packages.  If things go well, I can imagine offering it for projects
to prepare their own standalone builds and possible for windows based
automated testing.

I don't have a particular version of windows in mind.

Sweet!   How/when can we proceed?

Well, I'm not sure what you mean by "not fast", but I did fine the
Amazon "tiny" instances pretty slow for windows builds.

Best regards,
