1. But how does the Windows version works ? (it works with both python
2.5.x and 2.6.x and 2.7.x) -- so it probably compiles it on the fly or
has them all pre-compiled.

2. Would it be possible to adjust the Linux multi-distro installer, so
it compiles VBox python modules on install, just like it compiles
kernel modules ?
