Yes, that was a great link, thanks. It works fine for me. The reason I was bringing up this topic again was that I think the gnu autotools have been made for exactly this purpose, to port software to different platforms, and it might in the long run be easier to have a working mingw plus autotools platform to develop python (as well as other software) on. Besides, one day it would be nice even on windows to have a kind of GNU/Windows system where you could just type win-emerge gtk or win-emerge python or whatever.
