Hi Richard,

    It seems that the setup.py.in  and the setup.py are exact  the same each
for the version variable. The setup.py.in is from which the setup.py module
is generated in the configure process. And the setup.py will be used in the
make install process.

    The easiest way of getting it to work on XP is to download cygwin and
run it in that. Another option is that you could hand run the make file.
There doesn't seem to be any files that need to be compiled, so you would be
ok there.

    Other than that. Good Luck.

HTH,
Tino
