Hi Kim, I've just come from the nice EuroSciPy 2009 conference, and trying to cope my unanswered e-mail. I'll first deal with 'quick' questions and then will focus on more complex ones, so don't be worried: I'll try to answer everything :)

Mmh, the recommended way was to link with the binaries in http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/lzo.htm, but unfortunately enough, the packages have disappeared from that page (I'm a bit surprised about this, because the packages used to be there for years :-/). I'll see what it can be done about this. Meanwhile perhaps you may want to try to use MinGW to compile your local version of LZO. Feel free to report here your experiences in that matter.
