Just a tought!

Am I starting to inderstand something when I believe I could do
without a make file, and use the *.c and *.h (and whatever is
available and necessary) and do a distutils setup to compile a binary
for myself out of the ming source code ???

Thanks for responding because I think its going to demand some time to
learn to do this, and i'd rather believe that its going to pay-off and
that it's not an evident dead-end (for all you windoze source
compiling and distutils gals and guys) :))
