Don't work because of  my MSVCR71D.dll problem. It seems, that if I 
include DEBUG informations in my project, there is a reference to that 
(debug) DLL.

I don't have the dll MSVCR71D.dll on my system path. What I'm a bit
confused about is, that I can't even start python_d (installed by 
ActiveState DEBUG extension to ActivePython). It requires also the DLL.

Does anybody know, where to get that DLL ?
