It is usable with Python 2.4.1 on Linux and OS X at least. IIRC,
mingw-compiled extensions don't work with the standard Python 2.4.1
interpreter, which is, I believe, the largest holdup for Windows
binaries for 2.4.1.

If you have success building Scipy for Python 2.4.1 on Windows, please
let us know on the Scipy list. Thanks.
