Do you guys plan on making a release of Twisted that contains 
threadedselectreactor?
One of the reasons I hate using it is that every time I want to develop 
on a Windows box,
I have to grab the free Visual Studio compiler, a bunch of SDKs, patch 
distutils
to support the free compiler, compile Zope.Interface and Twisted just to 
use the
threadedselectreactor.

It's been working really well for us, by the way.
