Yes, I'm certainly loading the right file.  I've never compiled it (or
installed a binary of it) before, so I certainly compiled it.  The module
doesn't seem to be working properly - I've used it on unix before with, if
not the exact same file, at least one of the same format.

I presume the problem is that I compiled it with Paul Sokolovsky's patched
1.5.2 headers.  Is this still necessary to compile with gcc on windows,
and if so, are there patched 2.0 headers around?  Paul doesn't have any on
his page.
