I did not exactly know this - thanks for the info (I knew about something called Visual Studio Express 2003- but that only works/worked for Python 2.5, I think...) Rephrasing my original question: Is the mingw-w64 at all "easy" by now ? How about cross compiling to 64bit Windows from a 32bit Ubuntu (that I could easily run on virtualbox) ? (But I'm not apposed at all to the "free" Windows 7 Platform SDK, so I'll look into that -- giant download !?)
