I would like to build the latest version of lxml for Python 2.7 for Windows 32, using the latest versions of zlib, iconv, libxslt and libxml2 as the wheel files that use the later versions of the support libraries are only for Python 3.x

However, the notes for building on Windows say to use setup.py bdist_wininst, which hides the guts of choosing which support libraries to use (I'd like to specifiy ones I've built, not ones automatically downloaded from the internet). Also, how cython plays into this is also lost.

Any tips? I am not afraid to dig in, I just need a starting point.

Also of note, I would search the archives for this information, but gmane is not allowing me access to the search feature for the lxml archives.

There were recent fixes that should allow Py2.7 builds in appveyor. I'll try to have them ready for the next release. Stefan
