Thanks for the suggestion, but I am just using the vanilla ActiveState
Python2.0.
I tried to add USE_DLL_IMPORT to the gcc flags anyway but it didn't make
any difference. The same symbols remain undefined. I really don't
understand what goes on here. These symbols are referenced in Python.h
and descendants as externals but they don't seem to be in python20.lib
(I checked with nm). 
I also tried SWIG on Windows but that didn't help either (I didn't think
it would).
