Please do.

Actually, one generates that by using dlltool and various other programs to
extract a .def file from python2x.dll. I haven't generated one in ages, so
I'm going to have to dig back up how to do that.
The rest is handled by the distutils, pretty much. I don't think there's
actually any direct linking to the MS VC runtime, anyway, if one is only
using Python API calls. But I guess I'll find out.
Hopefully I'll have enough clock cycles to spare on Thursday to get
everything set up and tested.
