building simple python 'embedding' in vc++6

[Bryan]

i had the same problem.  python22_d.lib is a debug version of the python
library.   in your python/include folder, you'll find pyconfig.h.  in this
file is a MS_WIN32 section with pragma's that include the libs for you.  i
just comment out this entire section (IMHO what a awful way to include
libs).  i then include the lib in the "normal" MSdev studio way.   i just
link to the release build version (python22.lib) for both release and debug
builds. i don't intend on debugging into the python library, so for me this
isn't a problem. you can add this file as regular file to the project, or
preferably as an additional lib in the project settings.
