[pypy-dev] Tkinter-pypy not building on windows

Still no luck.
I made sure that i am using the correct version of tcl/tk and tested the
compilation of tkinter with python27 and it worked.
With pypy, i still have to define WITH_THREAD (it's defined in pyconfig.h
for python27 but not in pypy-1.7); I also had to modify the setup.py since
i used tcl/tk 8.5 (and the libs do not have the dot in windows : tcl85 and
tk85)
Now I get missing libs error from the linker :

LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'X11.lib'
LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'python27.lib'

if i try to remove X11 from the librairies in setup.py and add a path to
python27.lib, i get a lot of unresolved external symbols

Thanks
Arnaud
