Summary: Symbols not exported in windows python23 dll

Initial Comment:
When trying to link with python23.lib to use python23.dll
under Windows, I am getting undefined symbols:

undefined reference to `_imp__PyString_Type'
undefined reference to `_imp__PyInt_Type'
undefined reference to `_imp__PyFunction_Type'
etc...

This is apparently due to the fact that these global
symbols are properly marked as dllexport/import in
the header file (stringobject.h), but are not marked as
such in the C file (stringobject.c), therefore these
variables are not exported in the DLL under Windows,
due to the special handling of global variables in DLLs.

Arno
