Um, we test releases before they are released. We don't need to test
them any more regularly than that. It would be good to test trunk and
perhaps active branches more regularly so that we're less surprised come
releases. Is that what you meant?

I think a CI server should somehow do the build and test on windows,
even if nobody goes to the extent of bringing up a windows cluster and
trying things out there.
For Ant, we stopped supporting Win9x when we ran out of machines to test
it on, and got fed up with fielding the main source of platform-specific
support calls: the batch files. It was just too much hassle, and without
the machines, no way to be sure that you hadn't regressed and put a
windows-nt specific bit into the .BAT.
