I tried it on XP and I have a couple of notes: Zenmap immediately crashes on XP. It looks like your build also included the extraneous DLLs that I encountered, so I'll commit the "dll excludes" patch in a minute as it seemed to fix it with my builds. The Makefile appears to accidentally copy the .svn sub-directory when copying the new licenses directory. I've been maintaining my own batch file version of the Makefile, to avoid installing Cygwin on additional hosts, which is why I hadn't spotted it sooner, but I can try to come up with a patch if no one else does it (I presume I can base it on the code for nselib). This is a pretty minor thing though.

I'm pretty confident that we've done it correctly, but a dev release would allow more people to unearth any problems before a stable release (as Ron mentioned, Windows people are less likely to compile/run the latest code).
Hopefully the new 5.36TEST1 release will help people catch any major problems, and smooth the way for the upcoming "official dev release".
I'm also interested to see if your Win7 build environment hits the same Zenmap build issue (or any new ones!) that I had compared to David's XP setup (as my "dll excludes" patch hasn't been commited to setup.py, and I don't want to commit it if it's something peculiar to my machines).
I build the 5.36TEST1 Windows binaries with MSVC++ 2010 Express and the latest GTK and Python 2.7 stuff as described in docs/win32-installer-zenmap-buildguide.txt. It seems to run fine on the Windows 7 system that I built it on, but I'm certainly hoping people will try it out on other systems and report the results.
