I'm more concerned that it might expose some C++ code (symbols)
to other python code but I haven't looked at pywin32's implementation
so I can't really tell.  If it does, one shouldn't use it with _any_
compiler other than the one used to build pywin32.  Even a mix of
different ms-compilers would be dangerous, IMHO.


cheers,
