Because the official distributions of Python 2.3.x are compiled with
MSVC 6, python23.lib is in the Microsoft lib format (coff).  BCPP
requires the Borland format (omf).  BCPP includes a conversion utility
called coff2omf.exe.

The commands
  cd $(PYTHONDIR)\libs
  coff2omf.exe python23.lib python23_bcpp.lib
should create the required file.
