Can't provide you with that. I simply collect feedback from
users having compile problems in that file.

Note that most of these problems are related to declaring
arrays as static forward (rather than C functions as Python
normally does):

staticforward PyMethodDef mxODBCursor_Methods[];

...tons of code...

statichere PyMethodDef mxODBCursor_Methods[] =
{
     /* DB API interface */
...

I could eliminate those by clever rearranging the code,
but have never had an actual need for it.
