Let's indeed.  Meanwhile (thanks to T. Heller for
sending me a copy!) I put an emergency copy of the
module's zip up at
    http://aleax.supereva.it/Python/cons0528.zip
Supereva is a clunky free IS provider: you have to
visit this page, it shows you a webpage with a link
that is equally named (else they'd have nowhere to
show their ad banners, I guess), click on the link
to actually download the file.

Never one to let well enough alone, I took the
occasion to make a tiny mod to /F's packaging.

cons0528.zip unzips to a cons subdirectory rather
than to the current directory.  I added a trivial
setup.py to facilitate building and installing,
renamed _wincon.dll to _wincon20.dll, added a
_wincon.pyd prebuilt for Python 2.1. No other
changes.
