The problem is that the Windows build is apparently not for the faint
of heart (as evidenced by the long Wikki devoted just to building it)
and requires a pretty extensive Windows setup (which I don't have). To
quote the wikki:
The "HOWTO" section below is LONG, painful, and easy
to get wrong (and definitely a bit out of date! )"
So until I get the time (& courage) to do this, I realized that there
might be a simpler band-aid approach.
There is a fellow who maintains recent Windows builds on his website
and seems to put a lot of time into it

PERHAPS, you could set up a tree on atrpms labeled something like
mythtv-windows that would be a build against the same version that he
builds
Note he builds against both trunk & fixes -- and his latest builds
are:
0.22-trunk r22916
0.22-fixes r22888
Now if your automatic build system could be set to build against those
releases then this could actually be a good solution since he seems to
have more expertise and devote more time to doing this than I could
ever hope for.
