+       Actually, it's now worse than this: as we made setup.py depend on 
+       some `trac.util` code, using Python 2.3 doesn't even work anymore
+       ** at all **. So we have to use 2.4 for bdist_wininst. I suppose the

+       And now that I come to think about it, it must be there
+       for Python 2.4 anyway. Bottom-line: always use the minimum required
+       version for the releases (i.e. 2.3 for 0.11.x, 2.4 for 0.12.x, etc.)
