That's a non-starter for anyone who incorporates Python in an existing MSVC-based development environment.

surely incorporating libpython2.5.dll.a or libpython2.6.dll.a, along with the .def and the importlib that's generated with dlldump, unless i'm missing something, would be a simple matter, yes? Not exactly sure what this is, but I believe Python already includes such a thing.

sorry, martin - i thought the win32 builds generated python25.lib, python25.dll and python25.def so as to fit into the 8.3 filename convention.
