thanks thomas. i found a website with more info.
http://www.cyberus.ca/~g_will/pyExtenDL.shtml

using all the info garnerd. running a simple command,
"coff2omf python20.lib python20_bcpp.lib", has yielded
perfect results. i can now do

"python setup.py build --c=bcpp" and get perfect PYD
files from my extension source. distutils wins again!
