Sorry, I didn't read closely enough.  Even though it's not EXPLICITLY
stated in the Embedding and Extending manual section, I believe you
need to have an entry point called 'initspam' where 'spam' is the NAME
of our module.  This is the named point called by the import loader.

SWIG 1.3a4 worked for me.  I built just fine on VC6 SP3.
But, I know how you feel because I had to take on CVS, SWIG, Python
extentions, and an in-development library all at once.  I am still
plugging away learning lots of new thingeys.  SWIG was the easy part.
