Extensions in windows.

My solution without distutils:

<dir>
    sapdb.py
    python15\__init__.py
    python15\sapdb.pyd
    python20\__init__.py
    python20\sapdb.py
    python21\__init__.py
    python21\sapdb.py
    python22\__init__.py
    python22\sapdb.py

sapdb.py contains the following code
#
#
import sys

_pythonVersion = sys.version [:3]

del sys

if _pythonVersion == "2.2":
    from python22.sapdb import *
elif _pythonVersion == "2.1":
    from python21.sapdb import *
elif _pythonVersion == "2.0":
    from python20.sapdb import *
elif _pythonVersion == "1.5":
    from python15.sapdb import *
else:
    raise "Python version not supported", _pythonVersion

del _pythonVersion
#
# end of file

You can add the directory containing sapdb.py to your PYTHONPATH and should
then be able to do an 'import sapdb' in any of the supported releases.
