I have no problems with this (but am a little confused - see below)

I would prefer python20_bcpp.lib, but that is not an issue.

I am a little confused by the intention, tho.  Wouldnt it make sense to
have Borland builds of the core create a Python20.lib, then we could keep
the pragma in too?

If people want to use Borland for extensions, can't we ask them to use that
same compiler to build the core too?  That would seem to make lots of the
problems go away?

But assuming there are good reasons, I am happy.  It wont bother me for
some time yet ;-) <just deleted a rant about the fact that anyone on
Windows who values their time in more than cents-per-hour would use MSVC,
but deleted it ;->
