This thread started as "how to convince people to build their extension
modules quickly for Python 2.4".  I was just suggesting that taking a bit of
that burden away from us non-Windows-users would be helpful :-)

Oh right...  Well, I didn't notice because, oddly, there is another set of
pages on the same subject (but with different details and up-to-date-ness)
