It's pretty easy - I use it.
First .pyd is a plain .dll file.
- Make a project "Dynamic library",
- In Linker General tab
-- name the linker Output File "your_module_name.pyd",
-- put in Additional Library Directories like
Python22\libs;\boost\libs\python\build\VisualStudio\bin
(yes, I use to build BPL with VS also)
- In Linker Input
-- put in Additional Dependencies boost_python.lib (or boost_python_d.lib
for debug)

Add you modules/libraries and build solution will give you module for Python
importing.
I even debug it from VS using Debugging Command "python.exe" with my script
name
(which imports the extension module) as argument.

Enjoy,
Mike
