But how do you get the header files and libraries to be where
freeze.py expects them?  And how does config.c get generated and
compiled.

 Even compiling 2.0 from scratch from the MS project files just gives
you the DLL files; it seems that there is a missing link to get
freeze.py to work.

Any help appreciated.
