What would we need?

I need someone to take over official Windows support from me,
since I am stuck on Windows XP. I have the MinGW based dependency
build chain working again for 32bit Windows, but did not get
everything to build for 64bit Windows. So no official 64bit
prebuilt libraries yet on the Bitbucket download page.
I have surgery this week, but
if nobody does this by then I will look into setting something up.
I have win8 64bit.
Building the Pygame Windows dependencies—SDL, SDL_mixer, freetype2,
libJPEG, and such—is not well suited to a buildbot. The default builds
of SDL_mixer and SDL_image are unusable with Pygame, as the working
directory is not in their DLL search path. This is where I could use
the help. But I am back to using MinGW/Msys, which takes some special
effort to set up. Maybe I can cross compile from Linux. Something to
look into.
Ha ha. The x86 version of Pygame,
pygame-1.9.2a0-hg_5974ff8dae3c+.win32-py3.4.msi, works under Wine, a
Windows compatibility layer for linux. Out of 683 unit tests, only one
failed (for an obscure corner of pygame.font). Now if an x86_64 Pygame
works in Wine for x86_64 linux...
