Yes, I have built a working rdiff-backup that builds into a native win32 
executable with py2exe. I've posted patches to the mailing list, and am 
waiting for Andrew Ferguson to apply them.

I think he said a month or so ago that he was going to apply them soon, 
but I haven't heard from him.

Here a couple of the emails with patches:
http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/rdiff-backup-users/2008-04/msg00042.html
http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/rdiff-backup-users/2008-04/msg00041.html

If you're interested, I can provide a build environment that automates 
the entire build. This is what I used for developing the patches.
