One of the biggest reasons for using PhoneGap Build is not having to have a Mac to build the iOS versions (for me, any way). However, that all goes down the tubes when you try submitting the resulting .ipa to iTunes as you have to have Apple's Application Loader. The entire process from creation to submission would be possible without a Mac if build.phonegap.com had a method for uploading the .ipa to iTunes (which would be possible with the CLI version of Application Loader altool).
Alternatively the submitting to iTunes could be a separate tool provided by build.phonegap.com that allowed submission via a web interface (instead of modifying the command line tool).
