[Python-Dev] MinGW and libpython24.a

[David Abrahams]

Is the instruction at
http://www.python.org/dev/doc/devel/inst/tweak-flags.html#SECTION000622000000000000000
still relevant?  I am not 100% certain I didn't make one myself, but
it looks to me as though my Windows Python 2.4.1 distro came with a
libpython24.a.  I am asking here because it seems only the person who
prepares the installer would know.  If this is true, in which version
was it introduced?

Thanks,
