 it looks to me as though my Windows Python 2.4.1 distro came with a
 libpython24.a.  I am asking here because it seems only the person who
 prepares the installer would know.

That impression might be incorrect: I can tell you when I started
including libpython24.a, but I have no clue whether the instructions
you refer to are correct - I don't use the file myself at all.

 If this is true, in which version was it introduced?

It was introduced in 1.20/1.16.2.4 of Tools/msi/msi.py in response to
patch #1088716; this in turn was first used to release r241c1.
