For the next release (0.10) I would like to upgrade Python to 2.6 and
GTK to 2.18.  To avoid polluting the stable nightly builds and later
0.9 stable releases, I'm going to start building the nightly packages
on two different machines.  Stable nightly packages will be built on
the same build box as before (Python 2.5, GTK 2.16) while unstable
nightly packages will be built on another machine.

Python 2.6 brings with it some baggage.  It is built with modern
visual studio tools (VC9) and thus requires VC9 redistributables to be
installed.  We'll have to figure out the mechanics of this by the time
0.10 is released.  Optimally, we could ship the appropriate merge
module with our installer, but that would require us moving to a
different installer.  In the short term, I'll upload the correct
package to thg-winbuild along with the nightly builds.
