Trouble with pexports:

src$ ./pexports.exe //c/winnt/system32/python21.dll > python21.def
d:\ProgramFiles\pexports-0.42h\src\pexports.exe: //c/winnt/system32/python21.dll: could not load PE image

I recompiled (with mingw's gcc), with no effect.  What's wrong??  This is
just the standard win32 Python 2.1 I'm using here.

I've just downloaded Robert Kern's lib2def, but can't try it out here.
Still, I don't see why pexports isn't working...
