Python as shared library on Unix

[Rolf Kalbermatter]

Please disregard this post. I just found out that the current 2.3 CVS
version supports shared library builds. I was working with a 2.2.1c2
source code package.

There is probably little chance that this will be officially backported
to the 2.2.1 branch of Python?
