For future reference, a Python extension written in C only works for a 
single major version.  That is, an extension built for 2.4.1 will work 
with any 2.4 version, but not with 2.3 or 2.5.

This is because the Python interpreter actually lives in a DLL 
(python23.dll, python24.dll. python25.dll), and the extension must link 
with a single version of that DLL.
