So what see ye? :) Does it look good?

Looks good to me. The one remaining link to msvcrt, abort, is likely to be due to the startup code using it, and your code not referencing that symbol, so that it doesn't force linking from msvcr71. To check this, you could add a dummy call to abort() somewhere in your code and this last reference should vanish.

So this now looks just like an extension built using --compiler=mingw32 with the standard Python 2.4 build, which I guess means that your build can create extensions that are interoperable with both itself and the standard Python 2.4.

Paul.
