The following works for me:

    $ gcc -shared -I/usr/include/python2.4 -o hello.dll hello.c -L/usr/lib/python2.4/config -lpython2.4
    $ python -c'import hello;q = hello.message("Lars");print q'
    Hello, Lars
    $ python hellouse.py
    Hello, C
    Hello, module /tmp/Examples/PP2E/Integrate/Extend/Hello/hello.dll
    Hello, 0
    Hello, 1
    Hello, 2

Note I had to apply the attached patch to get hello.c to compile.
