Hi Brandon,

It's a shame you don't still have access to the Windows 7 box.

I've just grabbed the current PAML 4.4 pre-compiled for Windows
and put it on my Windows machine which runs as a buildslave,
and put the binaries on the PATH:

http://abacus.gene.ucl.ac.uk/software/paml.html
http://abacus.gene.ucl.ac.uk/software/paml4.4e.tar.gz

None of the current unit tests actually use the binaries do they?
Could you add a basic test (in a separate file which raises the
missing dependency exception to skip the test if the binary is
not on the path) for calling the tools?
