Another note: can you report on whether building libpython24.a can be skipped
for mingw? I'm thinking about the specific situation where we want on-site
compilation of extension modules with a minimal number of things to install
first. E.g. if we need to compile libpython24.a it means we need to fetch the
Python sources themselves first.
Actually, no, you don't need the sources. See:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2004-January/041676.html
for a script that builds libpython24.a from the python24.lib distributed with Python for Windows.
Shouldn't this be distributed with binary distributions of Python, to save people the trouble?
Or, if it can be skipped, the procedure for doing a mingw build with the .lib should be documented and that'd be the end of it.
