last time I tinkered with mingw, it could link directly against the DLL
file.  see the last two minutes in "mingw from scratch in 20 minutes"

the MinGW FAQ says that you can use reimp in cases like this:

    http://www.mingw.org/mingwfaq.shtml#faq-msvcdll

but that didn't seem to be necessary (I assume reimp or something
is now integrated in mingw, or maybe I have a magic computer...)

however, note that the FAQ entry says that you can use an existing
LIB file as well, so Python's standard import library should work.
