gcc and Python 2.0 on windows

[John J. Lee]

It seems that the Python 2.0 headers have been patched to allow the use of
gcc on windows following Paul Sokolovsky's patch to 1.5.2, but only in
config.h, not in object.h.  I haven't noticed any reference to these
changes in the C extension tutorial or reference.  I managed to compile
and run something with the plain Python 2.0 headers, so I presume it's
fully working - but I don't know what the changes to object.h in Paul's
patch are supposed to do - something to do with __declspec(dllimport).
Are these changes redundant now?

Maybe some mention of gcc / win should be made in the docs somewhere.

Thanks for any help.
