AFAIK, the free MS compiler will not help you here, because binaries 
created with it are incompatible with MSVC 6.0, with which Python 2.3 is 
built.  You can build Python 2.3 extensions using MinGW, however.  See 
http://www.mingw.org/MinGWiki/index.php/Python%20extensions. 

One note from experience: when you run the dlltool command, give the DLL 
name, not the full path to the DLL.  Otherwise, your library will build 
OK, but will not load sucessfully.
