One thing that I imagine does need looking at is modifying distutils to check whether Python was built with VC7.1, and if so add a -lmsvcr71 flag to the gcc command line when compiling with mingw. This can be hacked by hand, but only at the expense of making setup.py version-specific (or doing your own test in setup.py).
No changes needed in either the distutils or setup.py, at least on my machine as of this evening. Apparently mingw is smart enough to figure this out on its own. Yay! Of course, I haven't exactly made an exhaustive test that *all* extensions are compilable with mingw, but I'm at least happy that all of the extensions I normally build for Windows are okay.
