Well rats. Skull duggery on the net is a lot more sophisticated than
when I saw it last (15 years ago). Getting up to speed with it is on my
list, but quite aways down.  Best strategy is to only plan on using it a
few times and then uninstall. Maybe restore that install from a drive
backup if I need it again, then overwrite with an up to date backup. 

There's only one C library I want to rewrite parts of in Python, and if
I get it right the first time I probably won't have need of Visual
Studio again. I really just want to see the execution path through a
very weirdly constructed sub path in the C Library. Once I have that I
can get the rest from the code.
