Actually, with Python 1.5.2, you do not need to specify python15.lib -
indeed, it is recommended you do not - mainly because in a debug build, you
need to use python15_d.lib.  Since Python 1.5.2, Python has special magic in
its header files to automatically insert a reference to the correct library
file based on the DEBUG macro.  All you should need to do is add the _path_
to these files on your global lib directories (under
Tools->Options->Directories - or something like that!)
