If it suits your needs, you can wire the OSGEO installation of GDAL
to a python.org python installation (rather than a bundled OSGEO

Setting the correct paths was enough to get the basic things I used
to work (but I haven't used it extensively).

He does note on the page that the MinGW project isn't quite so sure
that GCC 4.x is ready for release.
