Although I appreciate your efforts for allowing the building of Python with
MinGW (and I'm hoping the efforts will be appreciated by Python upstream),
I see absolutely no advantage over just using the offiial Python release
and extracting the dll's from that. They will certainly work, and do not
pollute the interwebz with somewhat incompatible Python dll's. Just my
opinion though :)
