I'm curious about whether it's possible to distribute Windows binaries
for JCC PyLucene and have them work, considering the variety of Java
installs that are available.  I'm thinking about Java 1.5 vs 1.6, and
the various "flavors" of each (jre-1.6.0_02 vs jre-1.6.0_04, for
instance).  Many Windows users need to continually upgrade their Java
installs, due to organizational requirements, to track security
updates.  (I'm assuming that we hold the version of Python constant.)

This is also an issue for Linux and OS X, but of lesser concern.  In
the case of Linux, the environment seems to be so chaotic that it's
essentially impossible to issue a "standard" binary, so the problem
has to be addressed by the end user or the platform packaging system.
In the case of OS X, the changes are so coarse-grained and slow-moving
that the issues seem manageable.
