I'll have you note that we cared before too.  I refused to make a
release when there were no buildbots at all.  In fact, that was the
primary reason I set up a master.

Mmmmm, I'm actually mostly thinking of Windows, which has been
supported with one binary in the past as well (just check the
downloads directory and you'll see them for yourself).

I'm fairly certain I've heard at least one Windows user squeek last
time I asked about this ;-).

That's also something I'm thinking of, if it's worth it.
