Oh, absolutely -- private offers only please.  If it helps ease the
conscience af any prospective benefactors, I *did* have a copy of
VCToolkitSetup.exe at one point.  I downloaded it about a year ago
and installed it on Win2000 under Virtual PC, but later trashed
it without making a backup, so that'll teach me.

Failing any offers of help, I guess my options are:

- Wait for Parallels to allow importing VPC disk images (I asked
  them about this but it's not going to happen soon).

- Extract all the VC++ 2003 stuff from my VPC Win2000 system and
  copy it over to my Parallels system.  Sounds like fun...

- Look on ebay for a cheap copy of Visual Studio with VC++ 2003.

- Download VC++ 2005 Express.  I'm not planning to build extensions
  so I guess I don't really have to use VC++ 2003.
