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.
