Because no one with MSVC++ 6.0 has stepped up to package it yet :) .  I 
don't have access to a copy of VC++ that can be used for externally 
released applications, so I need someone to do the build and produce a 
package for redistribution.

Yes, PyOpenGL is a binary package that is linked to specific Python and 
Numpy versions.  You cannot use a binary created for Python 2.2 with 
Python 2.3.

Actually, that's not a requirement.  Building requires only the Python 
2.3 distributed from python.org, VC++ and the various .lib and .h files 
as outlined on the installation page.

Arthur has a "minimal" installer available, but it's missing the OpenGL 
extensions:

Note: Tk support is not available under Python 2.3 in any version of 
PyOpenGL.

If you do have VC++ 6.0, then you just need to follow the build 
instructions linked off the homepage.
