[Numpy-discussion] Building on Windows

[Stephan Tolksdorf]

Hi,

there are still some (mostly minor) problems with the Windows build of 
Numpy (MinGW/Cygwin/MSVC). I'd be happy to produce patches and 
documentation enhancements, but before doing so I'd like to know if 
there's interest from one of the core developers to review/commit these 
patches afterwards. I'm asking because in the past questions and 
suggestions regarding the building process of Numpy (especially on 
Windows) often remained unanswered on this list. I realise that many 
developers don't use Windows and that the distutils build is a complex 
beast, but the current situation seems a bit unsatisfactory  - and I 
would like to help.
Would there be any interest for further refactoring of the build code 
over and above patching errors?
