In case you missed it, I said I have windows XP. Windows XP
pre-compiled python binaries are built on VS .NET 2003. In order to
build extensions, you need the compiler the interpreter was built on, or
at least that is what is reported to me by calling setup.py. If I was
using linux, which I currently am not, it'd be a different story.
Additionally, GCC isn't available for windows XP, only MinGW, the port,
and I don't know that much about it to use it running on a Windows
platform. Furthermore, I was asking for help on an extension, not an
economical question about my programming environment.

Thanks
