[Python-Dev] bsddb broken on Windows

Rev 1.38 of bsddbmodule.c changed the name of the module init function from

    initbsddb

to

    initbsddb185

I imagine that's what causes

>>> import bsddb
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (initbsddb)
>>>

on Windows.  Who understands what was intended here?
