I think we should have a build configuration for each of them that are 
commonly used.  That means the popular Linux distributions with the versions 
of python and the databases that ship on those distributions, as well as the 
other OSes.  (Yeah, that's my bias showing.  But those "other OSes" are 
important too.)

For Linux, I think we should have the major distributions represented with the 
versions of python & databases that those distributions ship.  CentOS 5 and 
Debian stable with all three DBs for trunk and 0.11-stable as a minimum.  
(Yeah, that's 12 combinations right there.)  Fedora and Ubuntu with sqlite 
would be good to have too (for another 4).  Make sure we have distributions 
in there that represent each of the 2.x versions of python we support.
OS/X should be represented, but Tim would be able to say what setups are the 
most common or most reasonable.
Windows Vista, Windows XP, with sqlite and mysql?  I'm really not sure what is 
commonly used in that arena.

We're going to come up with a large number of combinations... but Trac is 
widely deployed, and we need to have testing across at least a representative 
sample.  It would probably make sense to figure out what distributions/OSes 
are well represented in the t.e.o tickets to help us choose.

Thoughts?
